Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Frangipani EDP
This Frangipani is a divisive one. Some adore its fresh, uplifting take on a tropical floral masterpiece, while others find it a screechy, synthetic imitation with woeful performance. Definitely try before you buy this one, mates.

Season and Occasion Fit

Frangipani

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh, clean and often subtle projection makes it suitable for office wear, though some find it a bit too weak. The bright, casual floral nature makes it perfect for daytime casual wear and summer holidays, with many reviewers explicitly stating they wear it to these events. The lack of significant sillage and projection means it's less suited for formal events where a more impactful scent might be desired.

Rosendo Mateu No 5

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

The warm spicy and floral accords make it suitable for cooler weather in spring and fall. Its light freshness can still complement milder summer days but may be too rich for the heat of summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

With its moderate projection and balanced intensity, it fits well in casual and date settings. Its unique character can be intriguing in an office, but might be too complex for formal events.
