Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanitas EDP
This is a lovely white floral, safe and inoffensive, if a little 'generic' or 'clean shampoo'. Perfect for those who want a fresh, feminine scent that's elegant without trying too hard, though some find it sharp or 'old ladyish'.

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Vanitas is often dubbed an ideal office scent due to its clean, inoffensive white floral profile and moderate sillage. Its fresh nature also makes it suitable for casual wear, especially in warmer months, with some finding it versatile enough for day-to-night transitions.

Declaration

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the floral, citrus profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the floral accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
