Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Japanese Rituals

This budget-friendly beauty delivers a surprising punch of fresh floral sophistication. It's often compared to pricier alternatives like L'Eau de Chloé, making it a divisive but much-loved dupe for many, although some find it too sharp or synthetic.

Our Verdict - North Bondi

This polarizing scent has folks divided: some call it the ultimate 'clean girl' fragrance, evoking fresh hair and sparkling citrus, while others find it cheap, screechy, and riddled with an unpleasant 'pencil shaving' or 'hairspray' note. A proper love-it-or-hate-it affair.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office Date

Its fresh and clean profile makes it ideal for casual wear, often described as a 'post-shower' scent. While some find it too sharp for office environments, its inoffensive nature generally allows for a decent office rating, though its sillage can be 'loud' initially. It's too light and casual for formal events.
