Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Saint
A divisive relaunch, KVD Saint 2017 polarises: some find it a delightful, inoffensive fruity-floral, while others dismiss it as generic and fleeting. This might be a 'love it or leave it' situation, but don't expect it to hang around long enough to make up your mind.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 214 Golden Gardênia
This is a seriously opulent floral with a mysterious, boozy sweetness that evokes a sense of nostalgia for some, while others find it thoroughly modern. Perfect for those who want to command attention with elegance.

Season and Occasion Fit

Saint

Seasons

Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its gentle sillage and short longevity make it an excellent choice for the office or casual daytime wear, as it's unlikely to offend. However, for dates or formal events, its tendency to fade quickly means it might not leave a lasting impression.
