Which Should You Buy?
Chinatown is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a polarizing, unique blend of spicy florals and creamy woods that some find enchanting and others, well, say it's more 'old lady' than niche.
Volupté is a polarising floral bomb from the 90s, often drawing comparisons to Tresor but with its own unique, sometimes sharp, character. Not for the faint-hearted, it's a love-it-or-hate-it scent with a loyal following for its bold, complex charm.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent projection and distinctive, strong white floral and oriental accords make it a bit much for the office. However, these same qualities, especially the sensual woody-spicy dry down, lend themselves perfectly to date nights and formal events. It's a bold choice, but some reviewers find it versatile enough for daily wear.
