Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ylang in Gold Eau de Parfum

Prepare for a divisive experience. Some will find this a heavenly tropical gourmand, a 'happiness in a bottle' that's creamy, sweet, and comforting. Others will be met with a 'bug spray' or 'cough syrup' opening, a synthetic Ylang that induces nausea, or simply an overwhelming cloying sweetness with little depth. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Our Verdict - Centenario Eau de Parfum

A truly divisive scent, Centenario swings between a creamy, tropical dream and an old-fashioned powdery nightmare. You'll either love its unique iris-coconut combo or find it too odd to wear.

Season and Occasion Fit

Ylang in Gold Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

Also Works:

Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its sweet and gourmand nature, coupled with reports of it being very strong, make it less suitable for office wear. However, its luxurious, tropical, and creamy profile makes it a fantastic choice for dates and casual outings, particularly in warmer weather. It's sophisticated enough for some formal events, but the distinct sweetness might be too much for others.

Centenario Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring

Also Works:

Summer Autumn Winter

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

With its moderate sillage and unique profile, Centenario suits casual and date settings, evoking a relaxed, tropical vibe. The prominent powdery and iris notes lend it a certain elegance that could work for less formal events, but it's not a go-to for the office or strenuous activities.
