Which Should You Buy?
A creamy Greenwich Village interpretation built on the same litchi and cassis fruit opening with a praline and vanilla close, leaning sweeter and more dessert-adjacent than the original, often compared to a softer Baccarat Rouge profile.
Seriously divisive, mainly due to its terrible longevity. If you can get it for a steal, or manage to find a rare bottle that lasts, you're in for a sweet, airy treat. Otherwise, save your money.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The litchi-cassis fruit opening has spring legs, but the praline-vanilla base drives this firmly into cool-weather territory; summer heat amplifies sweetness in a way that becomes cloying.
Occasions
Creamy gourmand profile is built for date and casual evening wear; sweetness reads too playful for formal corporate and too dessert-loud for sport.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its sweet, light, and airy nature with an aquatic touch makes it great for casual wear, especially in warmer weather. However, the notoriously poor longevity means it struggles to make an impact for formal events or longer occasions, and the sweetness can be a bit much for the office. It's a 'spray and go' kind of scent, perfect for daytime activities.
