Secret VIII Souffle du Desir EDP

Which Should You Buy?
A divisive yet undeniably potent rose-incense powerhouse, Porpora is an 'of-its-kind' statement. Some say it's an improved version of a well-known classic, others a 'loud and obnoxious' imitation. Either way, expect to be noticed.
A properly grown-up plum and rose combo, Souffle du Desir is a deep, sensual, and undeniably luxurious oriental. It’s got that dramatic flair you want for a big night out, and it lasts the distance.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage mean Porpora is too potent for most office environments. However, its bold and sensual rose-incense profile makes it perfect for date nights and formal events, particularly in cooler weather. It's a statement scent, not for casual wear.

Occasions
Given its rich, heavy amber and smoky accords, this isn't one for the office or casual daytime wear. It shines on dates and formal evenings, where its dramatic presence can truly be appreciated without overwhelming a space.
