Which Should You Buy?
A divisive relaunch, KVD Saint 2017 polarises: some find it a delightful, inoffensive fruity-floral, while others dismiss it as generic and fleeting. This might be a 'love it or leave it' situation, but don't expect it to hang around long enough to make up your mind.
This one's a mixed bag, to put it mildly. Some find it a decent dupe with strong performance, whilst for others, an 'unpleasant screechy note' makes it a hard pass. Definitely don't blind buy; this is one you need to test drive yourself.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its gentle sillage and short longevity make it an excellent choice for the office or casual daytime wear, as it's unlikely to offend. However, for dates or formal events, its tendency to fade quickly means it might not leave a lasting impression.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its sweet and musky profile, with a strong sillage mentioned by some, makes it less ideal for a professional office setting. However, the inviting warmth and depth are well-suited for dates and relaxed social gatherings. It's too rich for sport.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Sweet, Vanilla, Fruity accords and Musk, Vanilla notes
