Which Should You Buy?
Believe is a divisive yet unique gem in Britney's lineup. This isn't your typical celeb gourmand; it's a potent fruitchouli, loved by many for its earthy freshness, but be warned - the patchouli is a major player and not for everyone.
A divisive dupe that promises La Vie Est Belle on a budget. This is all about the sweet fruit and patchouli, but its fleeting performance truly lets it down for many, despite the bargain price.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its potent patchouli and fruity sweetness make it a bit much for formal or very conservative office settings, but the refreshing, clean aspects lend themselves well to casual and even sporty wear. Many reviewers enjoy it as an everyday fragrance, particularly in warmer weather.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
Its sweet, bold, and fruity nature makes it ideal for casual wear and dates, but its sometimes overwhelming strength and lack of longevity cited by many reviews make it less suitable for formal or office settings. The ease of reapplication due to its 'body spray' nature makes it perfect for on-the-go casual use.
