Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - BCBG Max Azria
This one is a divisive little number. While many love its straightforward fruity charm, a significant chunk find it a bit too sweet, too generic, or simply not long-lasting enough to bother with. Expect either a loyal following or a shrug of indifference.

Our Verdict - 5th Avenue NYC Vibe
This is a cracking Lancôme Idôle dupe, offering a juicy, floral punch without the hefty price tag. Stellar performance for the money, though that patchouli-coconut base won't be for everyone. If you're after an affordable, versatile floral-fruity, you've found your match.

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Office Date

Its light, often short-lived sillage and fresh fruity-floral profile make it excellent for casual wear or even a quick refresh after sport. While inoffensive enough for the office, it lacks the gravitas for formal events, and its playful character might not suit all dates.
