Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Golden Rule EDP
This one's a divisive floral-fruity-vanilla. Many love its bright, creamy blend, seeing it as a tropical, elevated version of popular scents. However, a significant number find it generic, shrill, or even nauseating, detecting a strong, sometimes 'soapy' white floral note.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Golden Rule - 95 EDP
No. 95 hits the same sun-warmed mandarin-coconut-vanilla notes that made Phlur's Golden Rule an instant viral hit, but the coconut milk and orange flower blend feels flatter and the vanilla drydown fades quicker than the original.

Season and Occasion Fit

Golden Rule

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its sweet, tropical, and white floral accords make it ideal for casual and date settings, especially in warmer weather. The varied performance reports suggest it's not universally long-lasting enough for all-day formal events, and could be too sweet for an office environment.

Golden Rule - 95

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The sun-warmed coconut-vanilla-fruity blend is a natural fit for spring and summer wear, when its bright, tropical energy feels most at home; too sweet and light for cold weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Playful and warm enough for casual daytime wear and a summer date; too sweet and informal for the office or formal events.
