Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Osmanthus Eau de Parfum

This one's a divisive freshie. While many adore its sparkling, uplifting fruit-floral character, plenty of others reckon it's a generic, overpriced shampoo or men's shower gel. Try before you buy, as skin chemistry is a big factor here.

Our Verdict - Elysium Intense Eau de Toilette

This flanker of Elysium is a divisive one. Many find it a refreshing, zesty update to the original, amping up the citrus and adding a unique rhubarb tartness. However, a significant number of people find the performance abysmal and the scent profile too generic or even unpleasant, like cleaning product. Try before you buy, it's not a safe blind-buy for everyone.

Date

Its clean, fresh, and moderate projection makes it suitable for office wear, alongside casual day-to-day activities. While it has good longevity, it's not heavy enough for formal events but its sparkling nature could work for lighter date settings.

Also Works:

Office Formal

Despite its 'Intense' moniker, this fragrance is widely reported to have moderate to weak performance, making it suitable for office wear without being overpowering. Its fresh and vibrant profile is perfect for casual outings and warmer weather, and it's certainly a crowd-pleaser for dates. While it could work for some formal events, other scents might offer more gravitas.
