Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Design
A legendary 80s floral beast from Paul Sebastian, Design is a love-it-or-hate-it scent with zero middle ground. If you missed out on big, unapologetic white florals, or you just prefer your civet loud, this one's for you.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Ikat Jasmine
This is a clean, fresh, and unapologetically feminine jasmine, though its performance can be a real let-down given the price. It's a sublime white floral for those who want simplicity done perfectly, making it a crowd-pleaser for jasmine lovers, but also sparking debate on value.

Season and Occasion Fit

Design

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its beast-mode performance and strong white floral-animalic accords make it too potent for an office setting. However, for a confident wearer, its luxurious feel and attention-grabbing sillage are perfect for dates, casual outings (when applied sparingly), and formal events.

Ikat Jasmine

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its clean, light white floral profile and perceived low sillage make it highly suitable for office and casual wear. Despite some finding it elegant enough for formal events or romantic dates, the consistent complaints about poor longevity suggest it wouldn't stand up well for extended occasions.
