SM26 Stella EDP

Which Should You Buy?
A modern classic that’s been cruelly discontinued, Stella is mourned by many as the ultimate rose. It's a fresh, elegant rose that manages to be both timeless and contemporary, though some find its performance fleeting.
SM26 fills a real gap left by the now-discontinued Stella McCartney Stella, and its own reviewers say it's a spot-on match, capturing the full-petaled, salty-dry rose character well, though it lacks some of the original's woody depth in the finish.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its elegant and soft projection makes it suitable for office wear, though some find a lack of longevity needing reapplication. The romantic rose heart and warm amber base lend themselves perfectly to date nights, while its overall gentle nature can work for casual wear too. It might be too understated for grand formal events and definitely too delicate for sport.
Seasons
A full rose floral that suits spring most naturally but wears comfortably into early autumn.
Occasions
Romantic and classic enough for dates and smart-casual wear; not loud enough to be a formal-evening statement.
