Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black

This one is a divisive little number. Some adore its comforting familiarity, others find it a bit dated and soapy. Expect a fruity-floral vibe that leans a touch unisex.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Fleur d'

A much-loved, discontinued aquatic floral that embodies 90s freshness. It's truly a shame this bright, uplifting scent isn't widely available anymore, as it garnered a devoted following for its unique charm.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Also Works:

Date

Several reviews highlight Fleur d'Eau as an 'inoffensive office scent' and an 'everyday' choice, perfect for warm, casual days. Its light, fresh, and bright profile, despite mentions of moderate longevity and sillage, makes it versatile for a variety of daytime and relaxed settings, though perhaps too understated for formal events.
