Which Should You Buy?
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.
Divisive, perplexing, and at times downright unpleasant. What starts as a fresh, dewy floral quickly collapses into something synthetic and surprisingly ammonia-like. Some find beauty in its unique blend; others can't wash it off fast enough. Proceed with extreme caution and definitely don't blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its initial fresh and clean profile makes it suitable for casual wear or an office setting if applied lightly. However, its often-criticised synthetic dry down and polarizing nature make it less ideal for dates or formal events where broad appeal is key. Performance is moderate, so it won't overwhelm in closer quarters.
