Which Should You Buy?
Seriously, the name is a boldfaced lie. This isn't 'Exceptional Because You Are'; it's 'Generic Because You Are'. A forgettable, soapy floral that's aggressively average. It exists, sure, but why bother?
Divisive, vintage, and distinctly un-floral despite official notes. Opinions vary wildly, especially between old and new formulations, but it promises a confident, intriguing, and sometimes 'naughty' aura at a bargain price.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its weak projection and short longevity make it largely inoffensive, hence suitable for office wear where strong scents are a no-go. However, its generic, soapy floral nature and lack of depth mean it's not a go-to for dates or formal events, though it's perfectly fine for casual, everyday use.
Seasons
A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.
Occasions
Given its strong and often 'naughty' or 'sultry' association from reviews, Pagan is better suited for evening dates or special occasions than for the office. Its moderate longevity in modern formulations means it's still wearable casually, but its character leans more formal or intimate.
