Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Very Valentino
A divisive scent for sure: some find it a clean, elegant floral, while others are reminded of bug spray. If you can still get your hands on it, prepare for a hit of nostalgia.
Statement
Our Verdict - Flora Luminare
This one's a proper floral powerhouse, a love-it-or-hate-it scent that screams vintage charm and makes a bold statement. It's got serious sillage and staying power, so be warned: it's not for the faint of heart or those who prefer a whisper to a shout.

Season and Occasion Fit

Very Valentino

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its clean, inoffensive nature and moderate sillage make it ideal for office and casual wear, as many reviewers noted. It's less suited for formal events due to its light, airy feel, and definitely not a sport scent.

Flora Luminare

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, Flora Luminare is a bit much for the office. It shines brightest for dates and formal events, where its bold, sophisticated floral character can truly make an impression, and is a bit too 'dressed up' for casual or sport wear.
