Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Someday Eau de Parfum
Divisive, nostalgic, and often dismissed as 'basic,' Someday by Justin Bieber is a sugary sweet trip down memory lane for many. Don't let the celebrity name put you off - or make you spray with reckless abandon, as this fruity floral can be surprisingly potent.
Statement
Our Verdict - Forbidden Sugar Eau de Parfum
This is a seriously polarising scent, where its intense sweetness and unique character either hit just right or miss by a mile. It is a sugary monster that isn't for the faint of heart, or nose.

Season and Occasion Fit

Someday Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

This scent's moderate sillage and sweetness make it a good fit for casual wear; several reviews mention it as a great everyday or school scent. However, its 'loud' and potentially 'overwhelming' nature for some users suggests caution for formal or office settings.

Forbidden Sugar Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong, dense, and potentially cloying nature, Forbidden Sugar is best suited for cooler weather and intimate settings like a date night. It's too overwhelming for an office or formal environment, and its sweetness makes it unsuitable for casual daytime wear in warmer conditions, let alone sport.
