Which Should You Buy?
A modern, peppery take on rose and oud that's smooth and romantic, with a fruity kick. It's affordable, but be warned: some find the patchouli in the drydown a bit much, and the berry can lean artificial for some noses. Approach with an open mind.
This 2014 fruitchouli is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans adoring its beast-mode raspberry and patchouli blend, while detractors find it sickly sweet and dated. It's truly a "my NY" experience- divisive, just like the city itself.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.
Occasions
While its sweet, sensual nature makes it perfect for dates and evening wear, the strong rose and oud accords mean it's a bit much for the office. It can be dressed down for casual evening events, but it's not suited for sporty activities.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.
Occasions
Given its 'beast mode' performance and strong sillage, this fragrance is best suited for evenings and social gatherings, where its bold character can shine without overwhelming those around you. While some find it office-appropriate, its intensity makes it a risky choice for close-quarter professional environments. The sweet, fruity, and musky accords lean towards playful and alluring scenarios rather than formal or athletic ones.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Sweet, Fruity, Patchouli accords and Pink Pepper, Orris notes
