Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Attraction EDP
This discontinued Lancôme beauty is a controversial one. Some find it a timeless, sophisticated masterpiece - a true "real woman" scent. Others are repulsed by what they describe as a sharp, cleaning-fluid-like nastiness. Love it or hate it, it aims for classic femininity.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Joyful EDP
A budget take on Givenchy Amarige. The honeyed mimosa, gardenia and tuberose bouquet and warm powdery-vanilla base capture the original's joyful, glowing white-floral character, though the dupe wears flatter and skin-closer - the legendary powerhouse projection is softened.

Season and Occasion Fit

Attraction

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

While some find it office-appropriate due to its elegance, its potential for strong projection and intimate warmth make it better suited for dates or formal events. The floral and woody accords lend themselves to versatility, but definitely less for casual wear or sport.

Joyful

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The dense honeyed florals and warm powdery base suit cooler autumn, winter and spring wear.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Bold and romantic, it shines on dates and formal evenings rather than the office or sport.
