Which Should You Buy?
A bold lavender-and-white-floral with plenty of lasting power. Mandarin and blackcurrant brighten the start, and vanilla and ambergris keep it warm to the end. Easy to smell from across a table.
Lavender and mandarin meet orange blossom and jasmine, then vanilla and musk. A modern, warm-finished lavender floral that takes its lead from YSL Libre.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Citrus and lavender feel bright in spring and early summer, and the vanilla and white flowers add the warmth that carries it through autumn.
Occasions
Assertive but moderate in reach, it works for the office, casual outings and dates, and is elegant enough for semi-formal events.
Seasons
Lavender, white flowers and vanilla carry from spring through autumn, with winter a little softer.
Occasions
Because the lavender is fresh and the vanilla is soft, it sits well in an office and still feels warm enough for dinner. Only the gym is a stretch.
