Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Burlington EDP
A modern citrus: mint, lime, bitter orange, grapefruit and mandarin on top, with a deep base of tobacco, rum, ambergris and spice. A cumin edge adds a savoury bite, so sample it first.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Victorian Symphony EDP
A fresh citrus with a warm spicy undertow, modelled on Burlington 1819, lighter than the original and easy for daytime. Grapefruit and mint give a cooling start, then ginger, tobacco and cumin turn the heart warm and dry.

Season and Occasion Fit

Burlington

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

While some find its projection considerable, others say it's understated, making it potentially suitable for the office. Its complex, citrus-woody profile and subtle spice lend themselves well to dates and casual wear, though the polarizing cumin note might be a risk for formal settings.

Victorian Symphony

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Also Works:
Office Date Casual Formal

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