Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - La Fenice
A divisive floral vanilla that splits opinion. Some find it a fluffy, elegant dream of powdery sweetness, others a generic, cloying mess reminiscent of older scents. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Musk Orchid
This one's a divisive affair, folks. You'll either get a beautifully blended, creamy floral dream or a plasticky, artificial nightmare. Definitely one to try before you buy, unless you enjoy a gamble.

Season and Occasion Fit

La Fenice

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 Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate sillage and soft, comforting character make it suitable for close-quarters like the office, provided it's not oversprayed. The romantic, elegant quality naturally lends itself to date nights, while also being popular for casual at-home wear due to its 'soft life' vibe. It's too sweet and plush for hot weather or physical activity.

Musk Orchid

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

The strong sweet and powdery accords make this more suitable for evening or social engagements. It's too distinctive and potentially cloying for an office environment, but perfect for a date night where you want to make an impression.
