Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rumeur
This one's proper divisive. For some, it's a classy, clean floral, but for others, it's a harsh, old-fashioned nightmare of nail polish remover. Try before you buy, unless you're feeling adventurous.

Our Verdict - Sleeping on the Roof
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a sublime, dewy white floral, while others insist it's nothing more than overpriced air freshener or even a 'scrubber'. You'll either love its green garden vibes or find it sharp and generic; sampling is an absolute must.

Season and Occasion Fit

Rumeur

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn Winter

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its strong projection and longevity make it a bit much for casual or office wear, though some find it acceptable in controlled sprays. The unique, often vintage-leaning floral musk makes it suitable for formal events and romantic evenings where a statement is desired.

Sleeping on the Roof

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its low to moderate projection and fresh, clean accords make it suitable for casual wear, office environments, and even sport. The divisive nature of its green sharpness, however, makes it a less reliable choice for formal events or intimate dates.
