Which Should You Buy?
A plush, decadent violet and rose powder bomb that channels vintage lipstick glamour with a modern, flirtatious wink. Daringly feminine and unforgettable, but not for the shy or for high summer.
A truly gorgeous violet and iris scent that's often described as 'artistic' or 'ethereal' - a true perfumer's perfume. Unfortunately, this fleeting beauty brings many to tears: the abysmal performance makes the high price tag a bitter pill to swallow.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
This powdery floral is most at home in spring and fall, where its violet-rose heart and fruity sparkle feel uplifting yet plush. Its warmth and sweetness hold up in cooler weather, but the rich sillage can be too much for peak summer heat.
Occasions
Lipstick Rose is a statement scent best suited for dates or elegant evenings, where its sillage and retro glamour shine. It can work for formal occasions and creative offices, but its pronounced presence is not ideal for sporty or minimal daytime wear.
Seasons
A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Occasions
Splendiris's delicate nature and poor longevity make it suitable for casual wear or intimate dates where a personal scent is preferred. Its elegance could lend itself to formal settings, but its weakness might make it get lost in the crowd. The lack of projection makes it acceptable for an office if oversprayed, but it isn't strong enough for sport.
