Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Songes Eau de Parfum

Divisive but captivating, Songes is a dreamlike tropical floral that doesn't shy away from its animalic edge. It's not a crowd-pleaser for everyone, but for those it clicks with, it's a rich, sophisticated love affair.

Our Verdict - Casta Diva Eau de Parfum

Divisive, potent, and sometimes polarising, Casta Diva is a big, bold yellow and white floral that demands attention. Those who love it find it heavenly, but a significant minority find it overpowering and cloying. Approach with caution, but if it works for you, it's a stunner.

Season and Occasion Fit

Songes Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Given its strong projection, substantial longevity, and rich, occasionally indolic floral profile, Songes leans more towards special occasions. It's too bold and diffusive for most office environments but perfectly suited for a romantic date or a sophisticated evening event. Its tropical nuances also make it suitable for warm weather casual wear, but only with a light hand.

Casta Diva Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, as described by many reviews, make it less suited for an intimate office setting, but perfect for date nights or evenings out. The lush tropical florals lend themselves well to casual wear and can be dressed up for formal occasions, provided it's applied lightly.
