Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fresia
This isn't your garden-variety freesia; expect an elegant, clean, and fiercely powdery floral. Some will swoon over its classic, soapy charm, while others will find it a bit too old-school or even air freshener-like. It's divisive, but never dull.

Our Verdict - Hydrangea
This is a clean, green, realistic floral that gets a bit soapy and melancholic for some, and a public loo cleaner for others. Definitely one to sample first, as it's a bit of a love-it-or-hate-it affair.

Season and Occasion Fit

Fresia

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its clean, inoffensive, and subtle sillage makes it perfect for office or casual wear where you want to smell fresh without being overtly perfumed. However, its classic, somewhat soapy character and subdued projection mean it won't stand out for dates or formal events where a bolder statement might be desired.

Hydrangea

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its moderate longevity and close sillage make it ideal for office wear, as it's unlikely to offend. While some find it romantic, its clean and green character, along with reports of soapy undertones, don't scream 'date night'.
