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.
Sonia is a divisive floral that splits opinion right down the middle. Some find its soapy, woody drydown absolutely captivating, calling it classy and sophisticated, while others dismiss it as a synthetic air freshener that belongs in the bin.

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
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
Its strong projection and impressive longevity in the initial hours make it a bit much for close-quarters office wear. However, its sophisticated and clean character, particularly in the drydown, makes it suitable for casual wear or an evening out, though perhaps less so for highly formal events.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Woody, Warm Spicy, Rose accords and Rose, Jasmine notes
