Which Should You Buy?
A legendary green floral from the 70s, Private Collection is a divisive scent: you'll either love its crisp, retro elegance and confident swagger, or find it a bit too sharp and 'vintage'. It’s an acquired taste for some, but a timeless masterpiece for others.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Masque Milano's Romanza is for those who crave the unconventional. Unashamedly unique, it's a divisive floral with an addictive, challenging edge. If you don't mind a bit of 'filthy floral' mystery, dive in.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Often described as 'professional' and lending 'confidence', its bold green floral character makes it highly suited for office and formal wear. Whilst some find it suitable for summer, its strong sillage and complex profile make it less ideal for casual outings or intimate dates where a subtler scent is often preferred.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and unique, sometimes challenging, floral animalic character make it unsuitable for the office or casual settings. However, its bold, sophisticated profile shines on dates or formal events where you want to make a memorable, if potentially polarising, statement.
