Which Should You Buy?
A bold lavender-and-white-floral with plenty of lasting power. Mandarin and blackcurrant brighten the start, and vanilla and ambergris keep it warm to the end. Easy to smell from across a table.
Lavender gives the start a fresh edge, then vanilla and ambergris round it into something warm. A lavender-vanilla floral in the mould of Yves Saint Laurent Libre.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Citrus and lavender feel bright in spring and early summer, and the vanilla and white flowers add the warmth that carries it through autumn.
Occasions
Assertive but moderate in reach, it works for the office, casual outings and dates, and is elegant enough for semi-formal events.
Seasons
Lavender and mandarin suit spring, and the vanilla and ambergris base make it comfortable in autumn and winter. Midsummer is the weakest fit.
Occasions
Polished, warm and clean, it works for the office, dates and dinners alike. It is smart enough for most occasions but not a gym scent.
Similarity Breakdown
