Which Should You Buy?
A divisive one, this. For some, it's a soft, dreamy cloud of raspberry and marshmallow. For others, it's a bland, musky nothing that smells of baby wipes or air freshener. Best sniffed before buying, you picky lot.
A budget take on Lancome Poeme. The narcotic datura, tuberose and jasmine heart and powdery vanilla-amber drydown all come through, but the dupe wears flatter and skin-closer - the vibrant, marathon-lasting richness of the original is softened.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Overall a versatile scent for daily wear, with many reviewers finding it appropriate for the office due to its soft sillage and inoffensive nature. Its sweet and feminine character, mentioned by several users, makes it suitable for date nights and casual outings. However, the sweet and powdery accords might be too informal for official events or sport.
Seasons
The rich sweet florals and warm vanilla-amber base suit cooler autumn, winter and spring wear.
Occasions
Opulent and romantic, it shines on dates and formal evenings rather than the office or sport.
