Which Should You Buy?
A divisive scent, with some raving about its raspberry-peppery allure, while others dismiss it as fleeting and uninspired. If you're after a lighter, fresher take on Givenchy's Hot Couture, this might just be your jam- or your cheap fruity frag.
Notorious is an absolute chameleon, equally likely to spark adoration as it is disdain. Forget the name, it's a classy, intriguing floral with a surprising gourmand twist that some find divine and others, well, just a bit off.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its lighter projection and fresh, fruity accords make it suitable for office wear and casual settings without being overpowering. The perceived poor longevity by some suggests it might not hold up for longer formal events.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and longevity, coupled with its elegant, warm spicy-floral profile, make it suitable for office and sophisticated evenings. However, its distinctive character might be a bit much for casual wear, and it lacks the freshness for sport.
