Which Should You Buy?
This is a love-it-or-hate-it beast, an 'addictive toxic relationship' of a fragrance that demands attention. Some get a refined rose-praline; others, a medicinal, synthetic mess. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you're bold enough, Oriental Edition II might just be your intoxicating secret weapon.
This one is a properly divisive chypre. For some, it embodies elegant sophistication, a woody-rose dream. For others, it’s a scrubber, an indolic nightmare of cheap patchouli. Definitely not a safe blind buy, you'll either adore it or regret it.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its significant projection and strong, dark oriental character make it too assertive for office wear. However, its sexy, mysterious vibe, long-lasting performance, and compliments make it ideal for date nights and formal events, especially in cooler weather.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its substantial woody-floral profile and strong sillage, though disputed by some, make it more suitable for evenings or formal events than a confined office space. The elegant feel of the rose chypre notes also elevates it beyond casual wear.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Woody, Warm Spicy, Rose accords and Rose, Lily Of The Valley notes
