Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Karl Tokyo Shibuya
This one's a bit divisive, not quite the cherry blossom dream for everyone. You'll either get a fresh, clean floral, or a sour rhubarb and cabbage mess with a short shelf life. Definitely give it a skin test before committing.

Our Verdict - Eclat D'arpege
This is a delightful, inoffensive floral-green scent. It's universally praised for its freshness and clean feel, making it an easy reach, though some find its fleeting nature a tad frustrating. A great blind-buy if you're into lilacs and green tea.

Season and Occasion Fit

Karl Tokyo Shibuya

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its generally light and clean profile, despite some comments on projection, makes it an excellent choice for the office and casual wear. The poor longevity reported by many makes it less suitable for formal events or dates where you want a lasting impression.

Eclat D'arpege

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its low sillage and fresh, clean accords make it perfect for office wear and casual settings, as it’s largely inoffensive. It's less suited for formal events or a night out given its delicate projection, but its airy freshness works well for light sport or very warm daily casual wear.
