Which Should You Buy?
Italica is a true love-it-or-hate-it gourmand - a divisive, heavy-hitting dessert with an almond and milk core. Some will be instantly smitten, others will be scrubbing their skin red. If you dare to try, prepare for intense sweetness and don't overspray.
This caramel gourmand is fiercely divisive, with ardent lovers praising its creamy, bakeshop deliciousness and equally passionate haters decrying it as artificial and nauseating. Not for the faint of heart, or stomach.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
This is a beast of a gourmand; its immense sweetness and strong projection make it unsuitable for professional settings. It shines on dates or in very cold, casual environments, where a rich, inviting scent can be appreciated. It's far too heavy for sports.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
This is a very sweet and prominent gourmand, making it unsuitable for professional or active settings. Its rich, warm profile is perfect for intimate dates or cozy, casual wear, but would be too overpowering for formal events.
