Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - No. 42 The Flower Shop
This one absolutely nails the 'flower shop' vibe. It's an uplifting, fresh green floral that captures the scent of freshly cut stems and bright blooms. Easily a crowd-pleaser for anyone after a natural, airy floral scent.

Our Verdict - Qi
Qi is a divisive, understated tea and osmanthus scent. Some find it a calming, elegant masterpiece, while others are baffled by its chemical undertones or weak performance. Sample first, definitely, unless you fancy a luxurious gamble.

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its fresh, delicate nature and often subdued sillage make it perfect for office wear. While potentially too subtle for a strong impression on a date, it works well for casual and semi-formal settings. The 'zen' and 'spa-like' qualities noted by reviewers suggest it's also a good choice for light activity.
