Which Should You Buy?
A truly divisive scent, Secret Wish is either your fresh, fruity summer daydream or a synthetic lemon cleaner that vanishes without a trace. The bottle might steal your heart, but the juice is a brief, if sometimes brilliant, affair.
Pleasures Exotic is a vibrant, fruity-floral that screams summer holiday. People either love its juicy, tropical vibe, or they get an unpleasant metallic or 'celery' note. Be warned: older bottles are notorious for turning rancid, so buy new if you can find one.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, light profile and general lack of strong sillage make it suitable for casual wear or gym, where it's invigorating but not intrusive. However, its poor longevity and casual fruitiness limit its appropriateness for formal settings or dates where a more lasting impression is usually desired.

Occasions
Its fresh, fruity, and light accords make it perfect for casual wear and warmer weather activities. While some find it too strong for the office, its generally clean profile means it can work in more relaxed professional settings. It's too playful for formal events.
