Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued Narciso Rodriguez is a cult classic, deeply missed by its devotees. Expect a bizarrely medicinal opening that quickly fades to reveal a soft, sensual musk. It's divisive but ultimately adored by those who connect with its unique charm.
Francesca Bianchi's Lost in Heaven is a divisive, unapologetically animalic floral that some find a 'masterpiece' and others a 'halitosis sundae'. It's bold, complex, and demands respect, but certainly isn't a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its intimate sillage and clean, non-obtrusive drydown make it suitable for office wear, especially after the initial strong opening has faded. The sensual and warm qualities make it perfect for date nights, while its relaxed nature means it can also be a comforting casual scent. It lacks the projection and crispness for formal events and is certainly not for sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
This fragrance is an extrait with excellent longevity and sillage, making it too powerful for most office environments. Its sensual and opulent nature, combined with a strong animalic presence, makes it ideal for dates and evening formal events where making a statement is desired, but less suitable for casual or sport wear.
