Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lil Fleur EDP
Lil Fleur is a proper love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. While some find its tart rose and leather combo addictive and edgy, others are put off by what they call a synthetic, sharp, or even headache-inducing mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
Statement
Our Verdict - Desert Bean EDP
A budget take on Montale Arabians Tonka. The sharp saffron-and-rose opening over sweet tonka, amber and oud captures the original's rich, sweet-oriental powerhouse; the dupe runs a touch flatter and less nuanced, and while it projects well it gives up some of Montale's famously beastly longevity.

Season and Occasion Fit

Lil Fleur

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its strong projection and unique leather-rose profile make Lil Fleur a bold choice for dates or casual outings. However, the prominent and sometimes polarising leather note, combined with high sillage, makes it less suitable for formal events or a conservative office environment.

Desert Bean

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The sweet saffron-tonka-oud richness is a cold-weather powerhouse, glorious in autumn and winter and far too heavy and sweet for summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

A bold, sweet-oriental statement scent built for evenings and dates; its sweetness and projection make it a lot for the office or sport.
