Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Osmanthus Elixir

This Elixir by Ormonde Jayne is a bright, uplifting citrus-floral that's dividing opinion. Some say it's a 'masterpiece' and 'photorealistic', while others find it a bit 'odd' or even 'chilling'. It’s an original take on osmanthus - not one for the timid.

Our Verdict - 1872 For Women

This 'feminine' scent is seriously unisex, a citrus-woody powerhouse that many claim smells exactly like- CK One, but for a ridiculously higher price. Some find it a masterpiece of blending; others, a massive rip-off. It's refined and clean, if you can get past the price versus performance.

Season and Occasion Fit

Osmanthus Elixir

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office

Its fresh and uplifting character makes it versatile for casual wear and dates, but its strong projection flagged in reviews means it might be a bit much for a formal setting. The clean and airy quality, however, could work well in a carefully applied office context, especially if you want to make a fresh statement.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Formal

Its clean, fresh, and often subtle sillage makes it ideal for office wear, with many reviews noting its inoffensive nature. While pleasant for dates or formal events, its 'non-perfumey' quality and clean character might lack the bolder impression desired for those occasions. Some reviewers also found it appropriate for the gym suggesting a wider casual appeal.
