House of Cosmo Nova Parfum vs House of Cosmo New Eden Eau de Parfum

Both are Bérénice Watteau compositions for House of Cosmo, but they pull in opposite directions. Nova Parfum is a sweet, loud fruity-floral gourmand with oud, rum and candy up top; New Eden is a clean, airy floral-fruity EDP built on ozone, cassis and lily of the valley. Buy Nova if you want a statement scent with heavy projection and a warm vanilla-oud base. Buy New Eden if you want something light, unisex and easy to wear in heat. New Eden carries a strong owner rating, though from a small sample; Nova's parfum concentration is the stronger performer on paper.

• Choose the Nova Parfum if you want a sweet, radiant gourmand with real projection and a warm vanilla-oud drydown for evenings and cool weather.
• Choose the New Eden EDP if you want a fresh, airy, unisex floral-fruity that holds up in heat and reads clean rather than sweet.
