Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - I Am EDP
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.

Our Verdict - Notorious EDP
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

I Am

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

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.

Notorious

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office

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.
