Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Victoria EDP
This one is divisive, a true love-it-or-hate-it contender. For some, it's a creamy lemon dream; for others, a harsh, synthetic cleaning product. Definitely don't blind buy, and be prepared for a period of 'maceration' before judging.
Statement
Our Verdict - 09 Orange Star EDP
This one's a proper divisive scent. Some reckon it's a divine, unique citrus powerhouse, while others just can't get past the 'bathroom cleaner' vibe. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with very little middle ground.

Season and Occasion Fit

Victoria

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate sillage and often fleeting longevity make it suitable for casual wear, as it won't overwhelm. While some find it too strong for the office, its softer dry-down can work for closer-quarters, but it lacks the gravitas for formal events. The fresh, sweet gourmand profile is ideal for dates and everyday use, especially in warmer weather.

09 Orange Star

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its unique and sometimes polarising scent profile, mean it's not the best for an office environment. However, its warming amber and citrus character, frequently described as 'addictive' or ‘sexy’, makes it a strong contender for dates or evenings out, though perhaps a bit much for casual daytime wear.
