Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Susan

A powerhouse floral that's either a budget-friendly delight or an overpowering blast from the past. Widely considered an excellent dupe for Givenchy's Amarige, its impressive longevity and projection come with a caveat: a heavy hand will leave you swimming in a sea of 80s/90s floral intensity.

Our Verdict - Amor Amor Forbidden Kiss Eau de Parfum

This flanker is Marmite-esque-ly divisive. Some adore its gourmand coffee-vanilla twist on the original, calling it a 'powerhouse' of 'magic'. Others find it synthetic or fleeting, claiming the promised notes vanish too quickly.

Susan

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

Also Works:

Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Given its strong projection and substantial longevity, Susan is not ideal for the office where it could be overwhelming. It shines on dates and formal occasions due to its elegant floral character, but its intensity means it's best applied lightly for more casual settings. It's much too heavy for sport.

Amor Amor Forbidden Kiss Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Its sweet, gourmand profile and moderate longevity make it ideal for dates or casual outings where an intimate, inviting scent is preferred. While some find it a 'powerhouse,' many describe it as intimate, keeping it from being too overpowering for office wear, but the sweetness may still be too much for formal settings.
