Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Love and Tears EDP
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Love and Tears

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

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.

Desert de Afrique

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The aromatic character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its aromatic, citrus signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
