Which Should You Buy?
Notorious is an absolute chameleon, equally likely to spark adoration as it is disdain. Forget the name, it's a classy, intriguing floral with a surprising gourmand twist that some find divine and others, well, just a bit off.
This one's a mixed bag, a genuinely divisive take on rose that either captivates with its cold, spicy complexity or utterly repels with a jarring metallic, inky edge. Definitely not a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and longevity, coupled with its elegant, warm spicy-floral profile, make it suitable for office and sophisticated evenings. However, its distinctive character might be a bit much for casual wear, and it lacks the freshness for sport.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.
Occasions
Its distinctive and potent aroma, as noted by community reviews, leans away from casual or office wear. The complex and somewhat polarising accords, especially the spicy rose and woody notes, make it better suited for formal events or evening dates where it can make a statement.
