Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Wanderlust
This is a fiercely divisive one: you'll either adore its hyper-realistic green fig and blackcurrant notes, or you'll find it sharp, synthetic, and frankly, a bit off-putting. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but for those it clicks with, it's a unique summer dream.

Our Verdict - Imperium Absolu
A solid, fruit-forward freshie that punches well above its weight for the price. It's not groundbreaking but delivers good vibes that many will find instantly appealing, though some might find a soapy drydown.

Season and Occasion Fit

Wanderlust

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its sharp green and fruity profile, coupled with strong performance, makes it a hit for casual and daytime wear, with some finding it suitable for the office. However, its intensity and unique character might be too casual for formal events and its 'love-it-or-hate-it' nature could make it a risky date night choice.

Imperium Absolu

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh and clean profile makes it highly suitable for casual wear and sports, while its moderate projection keeps it office-appropriate. The underlying citrus and a hint of spice also lend it enough character for a relaxed date, though it's a bit too playful for formal events.
