Which Should You Buy?
Floriental is a surprisingly agreeable, complex plum-and-incense fragrance, if you can forgive the truly baffling performance on some. It's chic and modern, but don't expect a beast mode scent.
This one's a divisive, dark amber. Some reckon it's a mysterious, sensual masterpiece with temple vibes, while others find it a cloying, dated mess. Definitely one to try before you commit, as it pushes strong opinions.

Occasions
Its moderate projection on average makes it suitable for office wear, not being overly intrusive. The sophisticated blend of plum, incense, and woods, often described as 'sexy' or 'elegant', makes it a strong contender for dates and formal events, particularly in cooler weather. It's too rich and warm for sport.
