Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive ode to the rose, blending zingy citrus and soft florals. Some find it a sparkling, feminine dream, others a fleeting lemon-scented floor cleaner. It's a 'love it or hate it' situation, but for many, it's a nostalgic, much-missed fresh floral.
534 leans on the same rose-peony-amber-wood shape as Stella McCartney's Stella but with a rougher, less dewy rose and a shorter drydown, trading the original's soft sillage for a louder but more fleeting take.

Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, light character and moderate sillage make it ideal for casual wear and daily office use, though some reviewers found it too lemony for work. The generally poor longevity means it's less suited for formal events or longer dates where projection is key, but its non-offensiveness makes it a safe choice for many situations.
