Which Should You Buy?
A divisive yet iconic 'love-it-or-hate-it' classic from Brazilian perfumery. The original formulation was a powerhouse, now Kriska offers a more wearable version of its fruity, powdery floral charm, though some miss the vintage strength.
This 80s powerhouse is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. For those who adore its maximalist charm, Clandestine is a rich, honeyed plum floral with a seductive animalic growl. It's not for the faint of heart, but utterly captivating for the right person.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and spring.
Occasions
While the original was a beast, the modern Kriska maintains good projection suitable for evenings and dates, but its sweetness and floral power could be overwhelming in an office setting. The fruity-vanilla profile makes it suitable for relaxed socialising but less so for formal or active situations.
Seasons
A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.
Occasions
Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its rich, sweet, and animalic profile, make it far too overwhelming for office or casual wear. This is a scent for making a bold statement at a formal event or during an intimate evening out.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Sweet, Fruity, Floral accords and Ylang-Ylang, Tuberose notes
