Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - SPIRIT OF VALENCIA
This one's a divisive beast, not for the faint of heart. Expect a bold, high-performance floral-fruity scent that some will adore and others will find headache-inducing. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with no middle ground.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Jamila
Jamila is a wildly divisive scent. For some, it's a 'beautiful', 'addictive' fruity-floral musk that's perfect for everyday wear. Others find it 'shrill', 'synthetic', and smelling of 'spicy saliva' or even 'infection'. Proceed with caution.

Season and Occasion Fit

SPIRIT OF VALENCIA

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong sillage and 'eternal' longevity, this isn't one for the office, where it could easily overwhelm. It's much better suited for casual outings or dates where its vibrant and unique character can shine, but its powerful floral sweetness might feel a bit much for formal events.

Jamila

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its fruity and floral character, combined with reports of moderate to intimate sillage, makes it suitable for casual wear and dates. However, some find it too strong or cloying, limiting its suitability for formal events or the office. It's often highlighted for being light enough for gym or beach use by some users.
