Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - des Jardins Eau de Toilette
A refreshing, zingy citrus explosion that perfectly captures summer in a bottle, although some find it a bit too simple or generic to be truly memorable. It's an easy grab-and-go for those who love a natural, uplifting scent, but don't expect a powerhouse.

Our Verdict - Sur la Route Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper grower, divisive as hell at first sniff but winning over hearts with its sharp citrus kick and smoky leather dry down. Some rate it a masterpiece, others a rip-off, but it undeniably oozes a sophisticated charm.

Season and Occasion Fit

des Jardins Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its light sillage and fresh, clean accords make it ideal for office wear and casual settings, as it won't offend. However, its 'body mist' performance and bright scent mean it's less suited for formal events or a romantic date.

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its blend of classic and modern accords makes it versatile, suitable for formal and office settings where a subtle projection is appreciated. While it possesses fresh elements, the underlying sophisticated leather and woody notes ensure it's not a casual throw-on, nor ideal for active sport.
