La Diva Mon Amour
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This one is a divisive delight, drawing adoration for its unique, silken charm, yet some can't get past what they see as a synthetic, shampoo-like quality or steep price. If you want a smooth, fruity-nutty rose with an elusive 'silk' accord, and don't mind a softer projection, this could be your next obsession.
Divisive and safe, this 'new Diva' isn't really new or a Diva at all. It's a sweet, fruity floral that's perfectly pleasant but forgettable, offering little to differentiate itself in a crowded market.

Its moderate sillage and smooth elegance make it suitable for office wear, though its sensuality really shines on a date. The warm, comforting accords perfectly suit cooler weather and more intimate, relaxed or formal settings, rather than casual daytime or sport.
Seasons
A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and sweet fruity-floral profile make it suitable for casual wear or a relaxed date. While not too strong for the office, its lack of formal gravitas means it's less suited for serious occasions.
