Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - A Midsummer Dream EDP
This one's a proper grower, isn't it? A divisive Roja that polarises opinions like Brexit, but ultimately, it's a classy, sophisticated wear for those who appreciate traditional perfumery. Don't expect a crowd-pleaser; this is for the connoisseur, not the newbie.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Nice and Spice EDP
Nice and Spice is a bit of a chameleon - fresh and spicy up top, then a classy woody dry down. It's an easy reach for when you want to smell good without shouting about it, proving itself a solid all-rounder that won't offend.

Season and Occasion Fit

A Midsummer Dream

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its sophisticated aromatic and woody accords naturally lean towards formal and date settings, conveying an air of elegance.

Nice and Spice

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its versatile woody, aromatic profile makes it suitable for everyday wear, including the office or casual outings. While pleasant for a date, it might lack the 'wow' factor for very special formal events, and its subtle nature isn't ideal for sport.
