Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lyric Woman
Lyric Woman is a divisive beast, a deep, complex rose for the seasoned palate. Some find it a gothic masterpiece, others a dusty relic, but everyone agrees it's a bold statement.

Our Verdict - Ambitious
Divisive, complex, and a touch challenging, Ambitious is either a glorious amber-woody masterpiece or a peculiar, mouldy beast. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get it' are utterly smitten.

Season and Occasion Fit

Lyric Woman

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its rich, strong character and often intense projection make it less suitable for office wear, but perfect for date nights and formal events where its luxurious feel can shine. While some enjoy it casually, its depth leans more towards special occasions.

Ambitious

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong, resinous character and polarizing reviews, this fragrance is best reserved for evening wear or intimate settings like dates, where its complexity can be appreciated. It's likely too intense for an office environment and completely unsuitable for casual or sport wear.
