Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Under the Lemon Trees Eau de Toilette

A sparkling, leafy-citrus escape that transports you to a sun-dappled Mediterranean grove. Effortlessly wearable and natural, but longevity and projection are modest.

Our Verdict - Melancolia Eau de Parfum

This one is an absolute head-scratcher. Despite the name, it's a surprising burst of fresh spice and aromatic greenery. Some folks adore its unique, uplifting character, while others find it harsh and compared it to industrial cleaners. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it scent.

Season and Occasion Fit

Under the Lemon Trees Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

The crisp citrus and green tea notes make this extremely fitting for spring and summer, when a clean, airy freshness is most welcome. Its lightness is less suited to cold weather, where it may feel too sheer and struggle to cut through the chill.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its soft projection and clean, easygoing profile excel in office and casual settings, and it is refreshing for sport. The understated, transparent character is less aligned with formal or romantic occasions that demand richness or sensuality.

Melancolia Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring

Also Works:

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Sport

Given its fresh spicy and aromatic profile, it suits casual and sporty settings well. However, its divisive nature and sometimes 'harsh' perception mean it's less ideal for formal or intimate date situations, and moderate for the office.
