Which Should You Buy?
A divisive yet frequently adored green vanilla, Angélique Noire balances warmth and freshness unlike anything else. While some find it too green, too powdery, or even 'celery-like', its fans hail it as a sophisticated, elegant masterpiece for a reason. Don't dismiss it until you've tried it on skin.
Clarins Par Amour is a beautifully balanced, understated woody-rose that offers comforting elegance. Despite its soft projection, it leaves a lasting impression, proving that sometimes, a whisper is more captivating than a shout. It's truly a shame it's been discontinued.

Occasions
Its soft sillage and moderate longevity make it an excellent choice for office wear, as noted by several reviewers. The elegant woody-rose accords also lend themselves well to casual and date settings, though its understated nature might be too subtle for very formal events. It's definitely not one for the gym.
