Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ostara Eau de Parfum

This discontinued gem is a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's spring in a bottle: a photorealistic, green, and waxy daffodil masterpiece. For others, it's a rancid, animalic mess, with notes of decaying flowers or even urine. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if it works for you, it's a stunning, joyous creation.

Our Verdict - Amaranthine Eau de Parfum

This discontinued gem is a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, Amaranthine embodies a unique, sensual warmth that's truly unforgettable. Expect a creamy, spicy jungle walk - providing your skin chemistry plays ball.

Season and Occasion Fit

Ostara Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Date

Its potent projection and unique, sometimes divisive, floral character make it less ideal for the office. However, its joyous and naturalistic spring vibe suits casual wear perfectly and can add an intriguing touch to a date, assuming your companion appreciates its distinct personality.

Amaranthine Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Summer

Also Works:

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual

Given its strong projection and overtly sensual nature highlighted in many reviews, Amaranthine is best reserved for intimate date nights. It might be too divisive or distracting for office settings, and not casual enough for everyday wear.
