Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Roses On Ice EDP
This one's a true Marmite scent - you'll either adore its unique, icy gin & tonic cucumber vibe or actively dislike it. Don't expect a typical rose; this is a polarising, fresh-aquatic experience for an acquired taste, darling.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Empower Noir EDP
This budget-friendly scent punches above its weight, delivering a surprisingly good aroma that's well-loved. Just don't expect it to last all day; it's a short but sweet affair.

Season and Occasion Fit

Roses On Ice

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its exceptional freshness and moderate sillage make it perfect for casual wear and active days, especially in warmer weather. While interesting for a date, its unique profile might be too divisive for formal settings. Many reviews praise its fresh, clean character suitable for the office, but its distinctiveness could be distracting for some.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate sillage and lack of longevity make it suitable for casual wear or an office environment where you don't want to overpower. Reviewers highlight its pleasant but fleeting nature, fitting well for shorter occasions rather than long formal events.
