Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Si Eau de Toilette

This EDT flanker is a divisive one, splitting opinion between those who find it a lighter, fresher take on the original, and those who feel it loses the EDP's magic, becoming generic. It's discontinued now, much to the chagrin of its ardent fans.

Our Verdict - RUA Eau de Parfum

This Delina-adjacent scent is a real diviser. Some find it a rough ride that needs time to macerate, while others are instantly impressed by its rosy, fruity charm. If you've got the patience, it might just surprise you.

Season and Occasion Fit

Si Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring

Also Works:

Summer Autumn Winter

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Formal

Its lighter nature and moderate strength make it suitable for office wear and casual outings without being overwhelming. While it can be worn on dates, some find it lacks the gravitas for formal events, preferring a bolder scent.

RUA Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its strong projection and lasting power make it a bit much for the office. However, the opulent fruity-floral-gourmand profile shines on dates or more formal events, leaving a memorable impression. Some may enjoy it casually, but it's perhaps too bold for everyday wear.
