Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Velvet
A properly dark, earthy rose, Velvet is sophisticated and intriguing. It's not for everyone - some find it too dry and serious - but if you like your florals brooding, this is a winner.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Flora Jade
This one's a proper British green-floral; great for those who love their galbanum and oakmoss, but steer clear if you can't stand a tart opening. It's a clean, effortless wear that won't shout.

Season and Occasion Fit

Velvet

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its deep, woody, and earthy character with significant patchouli makes it less suitable for a casual sprint or an office setting where something lighter might be preferred. It's perfectly suited for an evening date or a formal event, where its sophisticated and sensual depth can really shine.

Flora Jade

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its moderate sillage and limited longevity make it ideal for casual wear or the office where it won't overwhelm. While it's too subtle for a formal event or a date that demands impact, its fresh, green character could suit a light, active moment.
