Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Yes I Am
Divisive but largely loved, Yes I Am is a playful, creamy gourmand that punches above its weight. Ignore the dodgy bottle and lean into the raspberry-caramel sweetness.
Statement
Our Verdict - Mandarina Corsica
This is a divisive but ultimately enchanting scent, praised for its hyper-realistic mandarin opening but criticised by some for its syrupy caramel dry-down. For others, that gourmand element is pure bliss. It's a caramel mandarin dream for some, a cloying disappointment for others, but never boring.

Season and Occasion Fit

Yes I Am

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

This perfume's sweet, creamy gourmand profile and moderate longevity make it ideal for casual outings and especially for dates where its seductive warmth can shine. It's a tad too playful and sweet for most formal settings, and its soft to moderate projection keeps it from being overwhelming in an office if applied lightly.

Mandarina Corsica

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its moderate sillage and gourmand warmth make it well-suited for dates and casual outings, offering a comforting presence without being overpowering. The sweetness and warm spice can be too much for formal or sport settings, and while some wear it to the office, its gourmand nature isn't universally accepted there.
