Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rio Radiance EDP
This one's a proper divisive holiday romance. For some, it's that dreamy, expensive sunscreen vibe that screams luxury beach holidays. For others? Just bog-standard sun lotion with an overwhelming tuberose sledgehammer. You'll either adore it or be running for the hills.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Ipanema EDP
Surprisingly good for the price, this is a budget-friendly holiday in a bottle. Mass appeal and an easy reach for when you want to feel sun-kissed and relaxed.

Season and Occasion Fit

Rio Radiance

Seasons

Best For:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport

Its bright, beachy, and casual nature makes it perfect for everyday summer wear, especially outdoors or on holiday. While some find it might 'cloy' or be 'too much' for regular office wear, its good sillage and longevity in warm weather make it ideal for dates or casual outings.

Ipanema

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

Community season votes for Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa '62, the fragrance this is built to match, favour spring and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its sweet, inviting nature makes it an excellent casual and date night choice, evoking a relaxed, holiday feel. It's too playful and tropical for formal settings and might be a touch too sweet for a professional office environment.
