Which Should You Buy?
Mary Kay's Thinking of You is a sweet, playful crowd-pleaser for those who love a dessert-like, fruity vanilla. It's a comforting scent that often evokes fond memories, though some find it a bit too youthful or overpowering in its sweetness.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a rich, potent wave of sweet plum and praline, but be warned - some find it an acquired taste, whilst others revel in its gourmand intensity. If you're after a bold statement, this might be your jam.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
This fragrance is best suited for casual wear and dates due to its sweet and comforting profile, with many reviewers finding it a lovely daytime option. Its potential for being overpowering means it's less ideal for formal settings or the office, and certainly not for sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its robust performance and intense sweetness make it ill-suited for the office or sport. However, its bold and sensual character is perfect for date nights, and it holds its own for formal events, particularly in cooler weather. Casual wear is possible if applied sparingly.
