Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Meant To Be Seen

This is a seriously divisive skin scent, loved by some for its comforting iris musk, but dismissed by others as a boring, overpriced copycat. If you're after a loud projection, look elsewhere - this one's all about intimate elegance.

Our Verdict - Seen Aura

A budget clone of Nishane's Meant To Be Seen. The cool iris-and-bergamot opening melting into a creamy sesame-musk base captures the original's surprisingly soft, refined character, though Perfume Parlour renders it simpler and even quieter.

Its moderate sillage and lasting power make it perfect for close-quarters like the office or casual outings without being overwhelming. While some find it elegant enough for formal events, its 'skin scent' vibe means it won't project much. It's too subtle for sport.
