Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mystique
A powerhouse fruity-coffeed patchouli that divides opinion: some find it a sexy, high-performing sensation that smells far more expensive than it is, others find it a screechy, disjointed mess. Test before you buy.

Our Verdict - Dolce Sonata
This one's a real head-scratcher. Dolce Sonata is either a masterful blend of sweet and smoke or a cheap cacophony of notes. Expect strong opinions and very little middle ground for this divisive creation.

Season and Occasion Fit

Mystique

Seasons

Best For:
Winter
Also Works:
Spring Autumn

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong sillage and long-lasting performance, Mystique is best suited for evening wear, especially for date nights or formal events where an intoxicating presence is desired. Its rich, sweet and spicy profile might be overpowering for office environments, but it can work casually for those who enjoy making a statement.

Dolce Sonata

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring Autumn Winter

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong sillage and prominent, often polarising smoky and sweet accords, Dolce Sonata isn't ideal for office environments. It shines best on a date or for casual outings where its bold character can be appreciated without overwhelming others. Its uniqueness also makes it a statement piece for less formal evening events.
