Which Should You Buy?
This one is pure lilac, bottled. It's shockingly realistic for some, transporting them back to childhood gardens, but others found it a bit too linear or even 'old lady' almond. A true love-it-or-hate-it lilac, but mostly love.
A truly gorgeous powdery floral that divides opinion, but those who love it truly adore it. It's a cashmere sweater in scent form, a more intense and elegant take on the original, perfect for those who appreciate a rich, mature floral with a hint of vanilla.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its fresh, clean floral character and moderate performance make it suitable for casual wear and the office, where it's unlikely to offend. It's less ideal for formal settings due to its simplicity, and equally good for a low-key date or everyday activities.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
This perfume's rich, intense floral and balsamic accords, combined with impressive longevity and sillage, make it better suited for evening and formal wear. While some find it appropriate for the office if applied lightly, its strength leans more towards special occasions than everyday casual or sport.
