Which Should You Buy?
Ricci Ricci is a love-it-or-hate-it scent, often polarising but adored by its fans. Many consider it a unique, sassy chypre floral with a fruity twist. It's an often-discontinued but still-available gem that smells far more expensive and complex than its price tag suggests.
A truly divisive 80s powerhouse, Carolina Herrera is a bombastic white floral that screams 'boss lady' to some and 'old lady' to others. Definitely not a blind buy unless you live for huge tuberose and unapologetic civet.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent nature and prominent sillage, as noted by appreciative coworkers and strangers alike, suggest a need for caution in professional settings. However, its elegant and seductive character makes it a standout choice for romantic evenings and formal events.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
This perfume's immense strength and sillage mean a very light hand is needed for professional settings, making it less suitable for office wear. However, its bold, sophisticated floral and animalic character, often described as 'sexy' and 'elegant' by reviewers, makes it perfect for date nights and formal events. Its 'powerhouse' nature means it can overwhelm in casual, close-quarter situations.
