Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Perdizione Eau de Parfum

Perdizione is an absolute stunner if you fancy a sweet, citrusy orange blossom. It’s got a bit of a split personality between candied delight and crisp freshness, but for those who love that sweet spot, it's a definite winner with solid performance to boot.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Shadow of Your Smile Eau de Parfum

Skip this one. It's a bland, uninspired citrus floral that disappears faster than your hopes for a decent blind buy. Don't fall for the fancy name; it’s a total letdown in a bottle.

Seasons

Best For:

Also Works:

Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its moderate projection and balance of sweetness and freshness make it versatile enough for day-to-day wear, including the office, though its romantic sweetness really shines on dates. The strong sillage mentioned by some could be overwhelming in a very formal or professional setting.

Best For:

Sport

Also Works:

Office Casual

Its weak performance and extremely light citrus-floral profile make it mostly suitable for casual, inoffensive wear, though it's far too fleeting for any significant occasion. The lack of projection makes it acceptable for an office if you want to smell like nothing very quickly, and its freshness lends itself to sport, if only for a short burst.
