Which Should You Buy?
This one's a passionate affair, not a casual fling. Criminal of Love is a dark, sensual rose-tobacco blend that polarises with its intensity. While some find it an intoxicating masterpiece, others are put off by its 'medicinal' opening. Definitely not for the faint of heart, or for the office, apparently.
Divisive, powerful, and undeniably bold. Some find it a sophisticated, fiery rose-oud, others a synthetic, dated mess. If you're after a warm, alluring statement, this could be your molten hot ticket, but certainly try before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and overtly sensual nature, this scent is entirely unsuitable for the office, as many reviewers agree. It shines brightest on dates or for special evening occasions where its captivating, dark intensity can truly be appreciated, making it a poor choice for casual wear or sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its strong projection and dark amber-rose accords make it too commanding for everyday office wear, but perfect for making an impression on a date or at an evening event. The intensity means it's not suited for casual daytime activities or sport.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Amber, Woody, Rose accords and Rose, Patchouli notes
