Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tentation
This one's a proper sweet and powdery floral bomb, divisive for some, but a head-turner for many who reckon it's a real sensual treat. Don't let the initial 'nail polish remover' note put you off; it settles into something quite alluring.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Back To Paris
This one's a divisive drop, splitting opinions between exquisite and utterly awful. Some find it a richly complex, unusual floral woody musk, while others reckon it's a cheap, synthetic mess. Definitely not a blind buy.

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong sweetness and average to high sillage make it a bit much for the office. However, its 'provocative' and 'sensual' nature, as noted by reviewers, makes it a fantastic choice for dates and special occasions where you want to make an impression.

Back To Paris

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and summer pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its powdery, woody, and floral accords suggest a more refined scent, better suited for dates or formal events rather than casual wear or sport. While some reviews mention it stays close to the skin, others describe it as 'too loud' and 'in your face', making it a risky choice for a confined office environment.
