Which Should You Buy?
Hummingbird is a divisive floral-fruity, celebrated for its unique blend but often criticised for veering into 'old-fashioned' or 'soapy' territory. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent that evokes strong opinions, proving it's anything but forgettable.
This one's a proper sweet treat, leaning into creamy nougat and dark berries, with a hint of spice. It's a divisive scent; some find it a cosy, sensual gem, while others are put off by a persistent synthetic or 'pencil shavings' edge. Definitely sample before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its potent projection and longevity, combined with a very prominent floral sweetness, make it less ideal for office settings. However, its vibrant character is perfect for casual spring and summer days and can add a playful, romantic touch to a date, though some find it too 'loud' for intimate encounters.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its sweet and warm gourmand profile makes it unsuitable for sport and only moderately fitting for office wear. However, its 'sensual' and 'sexy' nature, frequently noted in reviews, makes it excellent for dates and evening events, extending to formal occasions in cooler weather.
