Which Should You Buy?
A divisive floral powerhouse, Pleasures is either a timeless, clean classic or a screechy, headache-inducing scrubber. Its vibrant green-floral intensity makes it a love-it-or-hate-it scent with serious staying power.
This is a clean, creamy floral that leans heavily on lilac and peach, with a polarising patchouli presence. Some find it a beautifully soft and versatile scent, others can't get past that 'mainstream' fruity-patchouli blend.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its strong sillage and longevity mean it might be too much for the office if oversprayed, although some find it professional. Its classic, clean floral profile makes it versatile for casual outings and even formal events, while its intensity is ill-suited for sport.
Seasons
A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Occasions
While its longevity is praised, Afrodite's moderate sillage and soft, clean floral nature make it versatile for most settings without being overwhelming. It's especially suited for dates and casual wear due to its sensual and comforting appeal, but its unique floral-fruity-patchouli combination might not be a unanimous hit in formal or office environments.
