Which Should You Buy?
Pas Ce Soir is well-intentioned and aims for a unique fruity floral, but the execution is divisive. Some find it a sophisticated, uplifting everyday scent, while others are baffled by its poor performance and clashing notes, with some even getting 'rotten fruit' or 'bad breath' vibes. Definitely not a safe blind buy, as it morphs wildly depending on skin chemistry.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, but if you're into an opulent, bold amber with serious staying power, Quatre Iconic is a steal. Be warned, though, she's a strong one and not for the faint of heart - or nose.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
While some find it an elegant everyday scent, the polarizing nature of its sweetness and patchouli, combined with highly inconsistent performance (some report it disappears in minutes, others love its longevity) makes it a tricky fit for office wear. It's better suited for casual outings or dates where its fruity, sensual character can shine, but its richness could be cloying in formal or sport settings.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its immense longevity, strong sillage, and heavy amber-tuberose profile make it too overpowering for the office. It's best suited for evenings and cooler weather, perfect for making a statement on a date or at a formal event.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Amber, Woody, White Floral accords and Patchouli, Ginger notes
