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 - Sexy Ruby
This one is a real love-it-or-hate-it. While some adore its boozy, fruity-rose embrace, others find it shockingly bad, smelling cheap, medicinal, or like stale rosé. Definitely try before you buy, but for the right chemistry, it's a sensual gem.

Season and Occasion Fit

BCBG Max Azria

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
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.

Sexy Ruby

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate projection and sweet, slightly syrupy nature make it less ideal for the office or sport. However, the sensual muskiness and boozy-fruity character are perfect for dates and formal evening events, as many reviewers highlight its alluring quality.
