Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanderbilt Eau de Parfum

Divisive, nostalgic, and a surprisingly complex cheapie, Vanderbilt is a love-it-or-hate-it classic that punches well above its price point. Reformulations mean vintage is often preferred, but many still adore modern versions.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Cortile Eau de Parfum

A divisive white floral that some find beautifully fresh and elegant, while others dismiss it as generic or even 'shrieky'. You'll either get sun-drenched jasmine or a soapy, one-dimensional floral bomb.

Best For:

Date Casual Formal

Also Works:

Office

Its moderate sillage and comforting nature make it suitable for various occasions, though its floral-spicy warmth leans more towards dressed-up casual or romantic evenings rather than active sports. Many find it office-appropriate due to its clean character, but a strong initial aldehyde blast might be too much for some work environments.

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Office Date

Its prominent white floral character is generally office-appropriate but can be too much for some. It leans very casual for daytime wear, though its refined floral character also suits more elegant casual settings. While some find it elegant enough for formal occasions, the 'white floral' dominance might not be universally appreciated in such settings given its projection and longevity are perceived as moderate to strong by some.
