Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Scent of Desire
A smooth operator, this one. It's a sweet, floral embrace that's undeniably elegant, yet manages to stay firmly on the right side of playful.

Our Verdict - Victoria’s Secret Angel Gold
This one's a divisive citrus-floral with a musky drydown. Some call it a sophisticated, sparkling treasure, while others detect a synthetic 'air freshener' or even 'pickle' vibe. If you love a fruity-floral shampoo-like freshness, it's worth a try, but be warned, some find it a bit too 'old' or headache-inducing.

Season and Occasion Fit

Scent of Desire

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its blend of sweet florals and woods makes it versatile for a range of situations, from a sophisticated date night to a relaxed afternoon. While it's generally well-received and not overtly intrusive, its sweetness means it might be a bit much for a very formal or professional office setting.

Victoria’s Secret Angel Gold

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its fresh, clean character makes it suitable for casual wear and can work well in an office setting if applied sparingly. The underlying warmth and sensuality also make it a decent choice for dates, but it lacks the gravitas for formal events. While fresh, it's not a dedicated sport scent.
