Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pleasures Intense EDP
A powerhouse floral that, despite its name, carves out its own distinct identity. It's truly a "love it or hate it" scent; some find it a gorgeous, natural bouquet, while others are overwhelmed by its potent and sometimes sharp white florals.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Casta Diva EDP
Divisive, potent, and sometimes polarising, Casta Diva is a big, bold yellow and white floral that demands attention. Those who love it find it heavenly, but a significant minority find it overpowering and cloying. Approach with caution, but if it works for you, it's a stunner.

Season and Occasion Fit

Pleasures Intense

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its potent sillage and remarkable longevity mean this perfume is best applied sparingly for the office or formal events. However, its fresh floral character makes it highly suitable for casual wear and dates, particularly in warmer weather.

Casta Diva

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, as described by many reviews, make it less suited for an intimate office setting, but perfect for date nights or evenings out. The lush tropical florals lend themselves well to casual wear and can be dressed up for formal occasions, provided it's applied lightly.
