Which Should You Buy?
Beyond is a budget-friendly mixed bag. Some find it a pleasant, fresh aromatic, while others dismiss it as a synthetic mess with dire performance. You get what you pay for, and sometimes that's just a quick thrill.
This one's a bold move for sophisticated evenings. If you like your scents boozy, leathery, and dark, Smeralda offers a complex, unapologetically sexy experience that leans into its Italian luxury roots. Not for the faint of heart, but undeniably captivating.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its fresh and aromatic profile, Beyond is best suited for casual wear or the gym due to its light, inoffensive nature. Its generally poor longevity and sillage, as noted by many, mean it won't project much in formal or date settings, making it more personal and less suited for those occasions.
Seasons
Occasions
Given its potent extrait concentration and rich, deep accords like cognac, leather, and incense, Smeralda is far too intense for office or casual daytime wear. It truly shines in evening settings, making it perfect for a romantic date or a formal event where making a statement is desired.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Citrus, Woody, Fresh Spicy accords and Leather, Pepper notes
