Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously polarising scent, loved by some for its unique take on amber florals, but equally chastised for its poor performance or unpleasant opening. If you can get past the quirks, it's a classy, modern oriental with vintage vibes.
This one's a proper head-scratcher. "Parchment" is for those who like their gourmands with a side of woody mystery, but be warned, it might evoke memories of public loo air freshener for some. It's divisive, distinctive, and definitely won't get lost in the crowd.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and sophisticated, warm amber-floral character make it excellent for dates and formal events. While some find it too much for the office, its subdued presence indoors means it could work for more relaxed professional settings. It's too rich and complex for casual, everyday wear or sport.

Its distinctive gourmand-woody character makes it a bit too bold for a formal office setting, but it's an intriguing choice for a date or a casual evening out. The sweetness might be cloying for everyday wear, but its unique profile makes it memorable.
