Which Should You Buy?
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.
This one's a divisive clone, with some hailing it a masterpiece and others complaining of 'chemical messes' and 'rotten pineapples'. If you're a fan of Xerjoff Accento, you might just find your new signature for a fraction of the price - but dabblers beware.

Season and Occasion Fit
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.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and spring.
Occasions
Its powdery and musky accords with a fresh undertone make it versatile, suitable for casual outings or dates where you want to intrigue. However, the strong initial blast and potential for 'chemical' notes (as reported by some) might be too much for a formal setting or the office, and it's certainly not a sports scent.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Powdery, Musky, Sweet accords and Jasmine, Patchouli notes
