Which Should You Buy?
A sparkling, juicy ode to vineyard romance, On a Date is all ripe fruit and fresh blooms, anchored by a mossy, earthy base that flirts with sophistication while keeping things lighthearted and modern.
Malia is a divisive, quirky scent - some find it an intoxicating, witchy brew, others a 'scrubber' of medicinal, burnt notes. It's unique, bold, and definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit to this one.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The juicy blackcurrant, rose, and aromatic herbal notes shine in spring and fall, echoing vineyard air and soft sunlight. Its fruity-floral heart and mild woody base are less suited to the extremes of hot summer or cold winter.
Occasions
Romantic, approachable, and gently assertive, On a Date is perfect for dates and casual social occasions. Its moderate projection and refined fruitiness make it safe for the office, but it's a touch too playful for formal or sporty contexts.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its strong projection and unique, sometimes challenging, character make it less suitable for office wear. This is a scent for special occasions or confident casual wear where it can shine without overwhelming, making it ideal for dates or evening events.
