Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tokyo Bloom

This is a gorgeous, unique green floral, bursting with spring energy. Prepare to fall in love, but be warned: its beauty is fleeting, making the price tag a bitter pill to swallow for many. Utterly captivating, but its disappearing act is a real heartbreaker.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Josephine

Josephine is a divisive floral that evokes a strong sense of a bygone era. For some, it's a timeless, elegant classic; for others, a 'granny perfume' that's too sour, dusty, or medicinal. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, so definitely try before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Tokyo Bloom

Seasons

Best For:

Spring

Also Works:

Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, delicate, and close-wearing nature makes it perfect for office, casual, and even sport activities, where it won't offend or overwhelm. However, its poor longevity and minimal sillage mean it's not impactful enough for dates or formal occasions.

Josephine

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

The long-lasting and potentially strong sillage, coupled with its elegant and classic floral profile, makes Josephine well-suited for formal and special date occasions. Its vintage character and occasional polarizing 'sour' notes mean it might not be the safest choice for a regular office scent, and it's definitely too heavy for sport.
