Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Royal Mystery
This is a seriously polarising scent - some find it an absolute beast of a fruity floral, while others are left cold by what they perceive as an artificial or 'grape soda' vibe. Best for those who like their scents loud and proud.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Inspired by Pear & Freesia
Match Fragrances' interpretation of Jo Malone London's English Pear & Freesia (2010) - the Christine Nagel pear-freesia unisex cologne that became Jo Malone's most-loved fruity-floral, here translated into a King William pear opening over freesia with a patchouli-musk close. Honest dupe-fidelity for daytime unisex wear at a fraction of the designer-niche price.

Season and Occasion Fit

Royal Mystery

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its potent projection and sweet, fruity nature make it a bit much for the office but perfect for casual outings or dates. While it has some heft, its playful character isn't ideal for highly formal events.
