This is a seriously polarising floral monster. Some find it beautiful, complex, and luxurious: an ode to jasmine. Others call it a screechy, old-fashioned floral that smells like a nursing home. Love it or hate it, you can't dispute its huge presence.

A budget version of the classic Oscar de la Renta. Cichlid captures the aromatic, slightly sharp floral character with its spicy carnation-and-clove edge and powdery musky base, but Perfume Parlour's take renders the creamy, blended depth flatter, with weaker sillage than the original's robust eight-hour-plus wear.
