Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Alchemy
A playful, sweet floral that's a bit of a crowd-pleaser. If you're after something juicy and long-lasting, Alchemy absolutely delivers.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Romance
This is a polarising throwback, with some hailing it as a stellar dupe for a discontinued classic, while others find its retro charm off-puttingly 'old school'. Expect a green floral with a heavy dose of powder, and some debate over its fruitiness.

Season and Occasion Fit

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its sweet and long-lasting nature makes it excellent for dates and casual wear, as it's noticed without being overwhelming. While it can work for the office, its prominent sweetness might be a bit much for very formal or buttoned-up settings.

Romance

Seasons

Best For:
Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its moderate sillage and longevity make it versatile, though some find it too strong for the office due to its vintage character. It's often praised for its romantic qualities, making it suitable for dates or formal events, but it's too structured for active wear.
