Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper masterpiece, oozing understated elegance and sophistication. A truly divisive scent, loved by many for its unique blend of woody florals and hated by a few who find it too harsh or reminiscent of unexpected things. It's a real shame it's discontinued, but if you can find it, you're in for a treat.
A truly gorgeous citrus-floral that's utterly deserving of its name, though some might find the bold white florals a bit much. It's a real head-turner, and definitely not for shrinking violets.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its elegant and often subtle projection makes it suitable for office and formal wear, where it projects sophistication without being overbearing. Though some find it feminine, many note its unisex appeal, making it versatile for various dressier occasions. Its performance is generally good, ensuring it lasts without being a beast, hence its flexibility.
Seasons
Its white floral, woody and citrus composition leans towards spring and autumn.
Occasions
Given its strong white floral and woody accords, Exquisite is a bit too opulent for a subtle office setting, but it shines during formal events and on a date. It's too grand for casual wear and completely unsuitable for sport, where its richness would be overwhelming.
