Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rare Gold Eau de Parfum

A divisive but cheap and cheerful '90s floral aldehyde. Some say it's a classy powerhouse; others say 'old lady soap'. If you're a vintage lover, give it a go, for everyone else, maybe avoid a blind buy.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Yaa Umree Eau de Parfum

A truly impressive budget buy, Yaa Umree is a creamy, salty floral that punches well above its weight. It's a crowd-pleasing, uplifting scent, though some find the lactonic notes a bit too much. The hype is real for this one.

Also Works:

Casual

Several reviews highlight its warmth, elegance, and assertiveness, making it suitable for date nights or formal gatherings where a noticeable presence is desired. However, its strong projection and heavier floral-aldehydic character might be too overpowering for an office setting or casual daytime wear, as some found it 'too loud'.
