Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Craze
Craze is a fiercely divisive beast of a scent. Some rave about its rich almond and vanilla, calling it a no-brainer dupe, while others are utterly repulsed, likening it to cleaning products or even worse. Best to sample this one before committing; it's a love-it-or-hate-it affair.

Our Verdict - Violet Ida
This one's a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a polarising hit of waxy iris and earthy carrot seed, leading some to pure powdery heaven and others to a screeching 'grandma' scent or play-doh horror. Absolutely not a safe blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Craze

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Given its strong projection and often mentioned intensity, Craze is perhaps a bit too much for a confined office space. Its warm, nutty-vanilla profile makes it excellent for dates or casual outings, especially in cooler weather, but it lacks the universal appeal for formal events.

Violet Ida

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate projection and longevity make it versatile, leaning towards casual and date settings due to its comforting, intimate nature. The 'old-fashioned' feel notes mean it's less suited for energetic activities or strongly formal ones.
