Which Should You Buy?
This is a fiercely divisive white floral, with some hailing it as a masterpiece of fresh jasmine and others finding it overwhelming or simply 'nice' but overpriced. If you're a devoted white floral fiend, it's worth a sniff.
Cry and Heart reaches for By Kilian's Love and Tears, that sparkling green shower of white jasmine. Perfume Parlour gets the lush floral heart right but renders the green opening flatter and the jasmine a little more soapy, trading some of the original's effervescent lift for a sweeter, simpler bouquet.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its potent sillage and longevity make it less suitable for office wear, where it could be distracting. However, its sophisticated floral character and impressive performance lend itself well to date nights and formal events, though it can also be dressed down for casual wear by some.
Seasons
The green florals and white jasmine feel freshest in spring and summer, evoking new leaves and bloom, and turn out of place in cold weather.
Occasions
Clean and elegant, it works for daytime, the office and dates alike without being too heavy for any.
