Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Marfa
Marfa is a creamy, sweet tuberose powerhouse that splits opinion. You'll either adore its rich, white floral swagger or find it a bit too much, even headache-inducing. It’s certainly got staying power for those who fall for its captivating charm.

Our Verdict - Tonka in the Sun
This one's a bit divisive - a high-end vanilla body lotion vibe that some will love, others will find a bit 'meh'. If you're after a sophisticated gourmand with good staying power, it's worth a sniff, but don't expect fireworks.

Season and Occasion Fit

Marfa

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Marfa's heady white florals and significant projection make it a bit much for a conservative office, but its powerful sillage and longevity are ideal for making an impression on a date or at formal events. It can be worn casually too, especially for brunch or spring outings, as noted by reviewers.

Tonka in the Sun

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its warm, vanilla-heavy profile makes it a strong contender for dates and casual outings, offering a seductive yet comforting presence. While its 'very good' longevity and projection might be too much for some offices, it could still be worn sparingly there. It's too rich and sweet for active wear and leans away from formal events, which typically favour lighter or more traditionally elegant scents.
