Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Avant Ruby

A vibrant, dupe-style scent that splits opinions with its initial sharp citrus, but wins over many with its soft, floral dry down. It's a fresh take on rose, perfect for everyday wear.

Our Verdict - Eau de Rochas L'Essentiel

This is a clean, bright, and airy citrus-floral that's perfect for summer. It's not groundbreaking but delivers a beautiful, inoffensive scent, though many find its longevity a let-down.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, light, citrus-floral profile makes it ideal for casual wear and daily office use, as it won't offend. The low sillage and perceived poor longevity make it less suitable for formal events or a date where you want to make a statement.
