Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Provenance No.7 Wild Bergamot Eau de Parfum

Bergamot opens onto apple-cassis brightness, juniper-basil-bay through the heart, and an oakmoss-amber-musk dry-down. An aromatic-fruity wear with herbal depth, casual and summer-office at high-street pricing.

Our Verdict - Dear Polly Eau de Parfum

This one is a divisive brew, with devotees singing its praises as a beautifully balanced tea scent, while others recoil from what they perceive as acrid smokiness. Try before you buy, it's definitely skin chemistry dependent.

Season and Occasion Fit

Provenance No.7 Wild Bergamot Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

Bergamot, apple, and cassis open with fruity-citrus brightness, juniper and basil add herbal depth, and oakmoss-amber ground the dry-down - a spring and summer wear with light fall flexibility on the herbal-mossy base. Lacks the warmth for deep winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Sport

Brighter projection than the Provenance citrus-floral entries and a clean herbal-aromatic character fit casual daytime, summer office wear, and post-sport refresh. Too informal for formal evenings; the herbal middle skews unisex-casual.

Dear Polly Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office

Its moderate sillage and versatility mean it works for most casual and date settings, but while some find it clean enough for the office, others detect a musky or smoky quality that might be too distracting for work. Its unique profile and potential for varied skin chemistry reactions make it less suitable for formal events or intense sport.
