Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Love in Black Eau de Parfum
This polarizing violet-centric fragrance is either a dark, sweet, and sensual masterpiece or smells like burnt plastic, rubber, and regret. There's no middle ground, so sample first unless you're feeling adventurous.

Our Verdict - Giulietta Eau de Parfum
Giulietta by Tocca is a clean dream or a soapy nightmare depending on who you ask. Many find it gorgeously fresh and innocent, reminiscent of luxurious soap or freshly laundered sheets. Others, however, are put off by its pervasive 'shampoo' or 'detergent' vibe and weak performance, questioning its price tag.

Season and Occasion Fit

Love in Black Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection, longevity, and prominent violet-iris profile make it too assertive for office wear. However, its dark, sensual character and excellent performance are ideal for dates and formal evening events where it can truly shine without overwhelming.

Giulietta Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its clean, fresh, and intimate sillage makes it ideal for office, casual, and even sport wear without overwhelming. The lack of strong projection and the 'shampoo' quality make it less suitable for formal events or bold date nights where you want to stand out.
