Which Should You Buy?
A truly polarising scent, China White is either a discontinued masterpiece of powdery florals and deep woods, or an unwearable, synthetic mess. It's an artistic statement that demands attention, but definitely not a safe blind buy.
Telea kicks off with a juicy, sweet, fresh blast that some rave about, while others question its marine aspirations and even catch a sour, beer-like note. It's a divisive one, a fresh and fruity musk with surprising woody depth and killer performance.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its strong projection and unique, sometimes challenging, scent profile make it less suitable for office wear. However, its bold and mysterious character lends itself well to evening dates and formal events, though some find it versatile enough for cooler casual days.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its exceptional longevity and significant sillage, coupled with its sweet and fresh profile, make it better suited for dates and casual outings than the office. While versatile, its boldness might be overwhelming for sport.
