Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ex'cla-ma'tion Eau de Parfum
This 80s icon is a polarising scent, loved fiercely by some for its peachy, powdery comfort and reviled by others as a chemical mess. It's a cheap and cheerful nostalgia trip for many, but definitely not a safe blind buy today.
Statement
Our Verdict - Coro (Selfridges Exclusive) Eau de Parfum
This one's a mixed bag. Many find Coro to be a more refined, elegant take on the popular 'Erba Pura' DNA, with a clean, powdery twist. But others are left underwhelmed, considering it overpriced and unoriginal. It has a strong presence, so a light hand is recommended.

Season and Occasion Fit

Ex'cla-ma'tion Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate projection and generally soft nature make it suitable for casual wear and even the office, despite some finding it a bit too strong. The sweet, powdery-fruity profile isn't typically suited for formal events or sports, though some find it a comforting bedtime scent.

Coro (Selfridges Exclusive) Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its potent projection means it's probably too much for the office. It's a great choice for dates or casual outings where its sweet, playful nature can shine without overwhelming, but its fruit-forward profile makes it less suitable for formal events.
