Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vibrant Vetiver Delight

This "Vibrant Vetiver" isn't quite as advertised on the vetiver front, and it's certainly a love-or-hate affair. Expect a sweet, zesty citrus bomb rather than earthy green, with some finding it a clean delight and others a scrubber.

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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Vibrant Vetiver Delight

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its fresh, clean, and inoffensive profile makes it highly suitable for office and casual wear, with many reviewers specifically mentioning it as a great gym or daily scent. While adaptable, its bright, zesty character and moderate sillage mean it's less suited for formal events but perfectly acceptable for dates where a subtle, pleasant aroma is preferred.

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.
