Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Happy Time EDP
Don't let the 'kids' label fool you; this is a remarkably grown-up tropical floral that's either a muddled mess or a sophisticated blend, depending on who you ask. It's a proper perfume, not a body spray, but its moderate performance might leave you wanting more.

Our Verdict - Born in Roma the Gold Donna EDT
This limited edition flanker has polarised opinion, with many loving its creamy floral-tropical vibe and calling it a summer must-have, while others find it generic or overwhelmingly floral. It's a gold-standard summer fragrance for some, a disappointment for others.

Season and Occasion Fit

Happy Time

Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Given its moderate sillage and longevity, Happy Time is versatile for everyday casual wear and dates, where its tropical sweetness can shine without being overpowering. Its youthful yet sophisticated floral profile makes it less suited for strictly formal settings, but perfectly acceptable for office environments where a lighter scent is preferred.

Born in Roma the Gold Donna

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its bright, creamy floral character and good projection make it a flexible choice for casual outings and dates, particularly in warmer weather. While some find it office-safe due to its pleasantness, its strength and tropical leanings could be too much in a formal or very professional setting, and it is definitely not suitable for sport.
