Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - So Blue
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a classy aquatic rose, a clean shampoo-esque scent. Others write it off as overly sweet, too feminine for a bloke, or just a bit boring. It's truly a 'love it or hate it' affair, often sparking arguments in online forums about its gender suitability.

Our Verdict - Inspiration
A breezy, feminine everyday floral-fruity musk. 'Inspiration' offers easygoing wearability, perfect for those who like their scent to whisper, not shout.

Season and Occasion Fit

So Blue

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, clean, and often described as 'shampoo-like' nature makes it ideal for casual wear and the office. While some find its performance strong, many report moderate sillage which is perfect for everyday situations. The sweet and floral notes make it less suited for formal events.

Inspiration

Seasons

Spring Summer Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its clean, fresh, and subtle character makes it ideal for office and casual wear. The gentle sillage won't offend, though it might lack the 'wow' factor for very formal events or a hot date.
