Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pleasures Bloom EDP
A divisive floral-fruity, Pleasures Bloom really hits for some, offering a fresh, bright take on the original. For others, it's a screechy, headache-inducing disaster. Definitely one to try before you buy.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Forbidden Euphoria EDP
A flanker that carved its own path, Forbidden Euphoria isn't just a lighter version of the original. It's a fruity-floral powerhouse, seductive yet playful, and surprisingly versatile. Some call it an ice cream scent for teens, others a romantic grown-up choice, making it one of those "try before you buy" numbers. Definitely divisive, but loved by many for its unique charm.

Season and Occasion Fit

Pleasures Bloom

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its moderate sillage and fresh, clean floral-fruity profile make it a good choice for casual wear and the office, where subtlety is often appreciated. However, some find it overwhelms them, suggesting it's not a universal office pleaser. It's too light for formal events but the fresh notes could work for light activity.

Forbidden Euphoria

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

With strong sillage and good longevity reported by many, this scent leans away from office wear. Its sweet and sensual nature, combined with a 'night scent' vibe from reviews, makes it ideal for dates and evening casual outings, though some find it too sweet for formal events.
