Which Should You Buy?
A grape-soaked white-floral musk from the 2015 Section d'Or - gardenia and tuberose stained purple by methyl-anthranilate, lifted by an unusual pine-and-civet undertone before a long, fuzzy musk dry-down. Polarising; collector-only today.
A divisive one, this. Meditation is a bold white floral bomb - you'll either adore its opulent sweep or find yourself utterly overwhelmed by its intensity. Expect strong reactions, no fence-sitting here.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
White-floral and musk core wears well across spring and autumn evenings; the narcotic gardenia-tuberose body is too rich for high summer and too soft for deep winter cold.
Occasions
Narcotic-floral evening composition fits date and formal evening best; the indolic grape opening makes it too distinctive for office or sport, casual wear only with cooler weather.
Seasons
Occasions
Given its strong sillage and potent white floral and amber accords, Meditation isn't one for the office - it’s far too dominant. It truly shines on a date or at a formal event, where its luxurious and bold character can make a grand statement.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share White Floral, Amber, Fruity accords and Jasmine, Tuberose notes
