Which Should You Buy?

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

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.

True Replay for Him Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its strong fruity and fresh accords, coupled with reports of good longevity and projection, make it well-suited for casual outings and dates, but potentially too assertive for formal or enclosed office environments. The modern, energetic profile also lends itself well to active, sporty situations.
