Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive beauty. Some adore its dark, smoky rose and patchouli with hints of a bygone era, calling it a cheap niche thrill. Others find the modern formulation diluted, dull, or simply dusty. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it affair among scent enthusiasts.
This quiet floral is for those who appreciate subtlety, rather than shouty statements. It's a gentle, personal scent that floats softly around you, making it ideal for layering or intimate moments.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and spring.
Occasions
While some find it suitable for office wear due to its perceived subtlety, many describe a 'dirty', 'smoky' vibe and a 'night-time wear' quality, especially the original, making it better suited for dates and formal evenings. Its distinctive character, particularly the incense and patchouli, makes it too assertive for sporty activities.
