Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Serpentine Eau de Parfum

Serpentine is a tale of two fragrances: a bold, spicy-sweet tropical dream for some; a "perfumey," headache-inducing generic floral for others. It sparks strong opinions, but its golden bottle and unique profile mean it's worth a sniff to see which side of the divide you fall on.

Statement

Our Verdict - Fig Tea Eau de Parfum

This one's a cheeky misnomer - don't expect actual fig, but do expect a beautiful, juicy, crisp osmanthus and tea blend. It's a fresh, uplifting charmer, though many found its performance a bit too fleeting for the price.

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its potent projection and warm, sensual amber-floral character make it more suited for evenings and social gatherings, lowering its office score. While some find it too strong for daily wear, its versatility-from casual to formal, depending on application-is frequently noted by reviewers, though its richness leans it more towards formal and date night settings.

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its fresh, clean, and inoffensive profile with moderate-to-low sillage makes it ideal for office wear and casual daytime outings. However, the lighter performance and fresh accords mean it won't stand out for formal evening events.
