Which Should You Buy?
A truly gorgeous powdery floral that divides opinion, but those who love it truly adore it. It's a cashmere sweater in scent form, a more intense and elegant take on the original, perfect for those who appreciate a rich, mature floral with a hint of vanilla.
This super strong Iris-heavy gourmand is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect potent projection and longevity, though be warned: some find its powdery sweetness overwhelming, while others adore its boudoir quality.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
This perfume's rich, intense floral and balsamic accords, combined with impressive longevity and sillage, make it better suited for evening and formal wear. While some find it appropriate for the office if applied lightly, its strength leans more towards special occasions than everyday casual or sport.
Seasons
A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Occasions
Its exceptional strength and significant sillage make it unsuitable for most office environments, but perfect for dates and evening events where you want to make a statement. The opulent, sweet, and powdery profile lends itself well to formal occasions, though its intensity might be a bit much for casual daytime wear.
