Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Midsummer Woman Eau de Parfum

This aquatic floral is a divisive one. Fans eulogise its fresh, airy charm, perfect for hot days. Detractors are less kind, complaining it smells like a chemical cleaner or generic citrus. A classic example of reformulation angst.

Our Verdict - Accordes Eau de Parfum

This one's a divisive classic, with plenty of folks loving its 'effortless sexy' vibe and others finding it a 'nightmare in perfume form'. Not a safe blind buy, but if it clicks, it really clicks.

Season and Occasion Fit

Midsummer Woman Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Summer

Also Works:

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, airy, and aquatic nature makes it ideal for casual wear, especially in hot weather, and perfectly suited for sport. While it's light enough for office wear, its perceived lack of longevity and 'cleaning product' association for some makes it less ideal for formal or romantic settings.

Accordes Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn

Also Works:

Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its blend of sweet florals and woody notes, with prominent projection and longevity, makes it a bit much for the office. However, it's perfect for dates and casual wear where its 'effortless sexy' quality can shine, albeit a little mature for some.
