Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper Marmite scent, isn't it? People either adore its spicy-woody warmth or wrinkle their nose at what they perceive as boozy, dusty plum. Not a safe blind buy, but if it clicks, it's a surprising gem.
Quiet Fantasy chases Calvin Klein's Secret Obsession - an exotic plum-and-mace opening into a tuberose-and-jasmine heart over warm amber, vanilla and woods. Reviewers call it a touch lighter and more balanced than the spicier original, but the sensual oriental-floral character carries.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent spicy and woody notes, with moderate to strong sillage, make it a bit much for the office. However, its complex, warm character lends itself beautifully to dates and more formal evening events, often described as 'sexy' and 'seductive'.
Seasons
The warm amber-and-tuberose oriental base shines in autumn and winter and cooler spring evenings, while summer heat amplifies the sweetness.
Occasions
Sensual and elegant, it leans toward dates, evenings and dressed-up occasions more than the office or sport.
