Which Should You Buy?
This flanker to the perennial 5th Avenue line is divisive. Some find its woody, musky floral blend an elegant, understated gem; others are left cold by what they perceive as a generic, fleeting 'shampoo' scent, or a 'furniture polish' nightmare. Try before you buy, it's not a safe blind buy.
This perfume is a divisive one - some find it a gorgeous, long-lasting floral musk, while others deem it an 'obnoxious hammer to the fingernails'. It's not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and often-reported lighter longevity make it ideal for office wear, where it won't offend. Reviews suggest it's more of a daytime soft floral, making it less suitable for formal evening events or dates that demand a bolder statement. For a casual day it's a safe choice, but definitely not for sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its significant sillage and longevity make it less suitable for office wear where subtlety is key. Conversely, these characteristics, combined with its elegant accords, render it perfect for formal events and romantic evenings where a powerful statement is desired.
