Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Red Velvet

Divisive and not what you'd expect from the name. This one leans more floral than gourmand, with some finding it surprisingly mature, whilst others praise its versatility and crowd-pleasing potential.

Our Verdict - Safa

This is a candy shop in a bottle, pure and simple. If you fancy smelling like strawberry marshmallows and sweet caramel, and don't mind something that vanishes quicker than a free sample, then Safa is your jam. Expect a divisive response though.

Also Works:

Casual

Its moderate sweetness and floral lean make it suitable for office and formal wear, as noted by reviewers. While versatile, it lacks the freshness for active sport and the intensity for a show-stopping date night.

Its sweet, gourmand nature makes it a fantastic fit for casual wear, akin to a comforting sweater scent mentioned in reviews. The limited projection and longevity mean it won't offend in office settings, but it's not potent enough for formal events or sports.
