Which Should You Buy?
Floriental is a surprisingly agreeable, complex plum-and-incense fragrance, if you can forgive the truly baffling performance on some. It's chic and modern, but don't expect a beast mode scent.
This one's a Marmite scent - you'll either adore its sticky plum and smoky incense glory, or recoil from its perceived 'old lady' or 'potpourri' vibes. Those who get it, REALLY get it, swearing it's a stellar dupe for TF's Plum Japonais. Sample first, but if it clicks, prepare for a captivating ride.

Its moderate projection on average makes it suitable for office wear, not being overly intrusive. The sophisticated blend of plum, incense, and woods, often described as 'sexy' or 'elegant', makes it a strong contender for dates and formal events, particularly in cooler weather. It's too rich and warm for sport.
