Which Should You Buy?
Arrives at full volume. Bergamot and pink pepper go off first, then Bulgarian and Turkish roses fill the air, deep and glossy, on vanilla and ambroxan. A loud rose that lasts and lasts.
Rose with a spice rack: pink pepper and saffron keep it from turning sweet, with amber, cedar and vanilla underneath. Warm, bold, long-lasting and suited to evenings.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Bright bergamot and open jasmine help it in spring, and vanilla and ambroxan carry it through autumn; it is happy in winter too, but summer heat makes it heavy.
Occasions
Very long-lasting and far-reaching, it is a date-night and formal-event scent. Offices and sport are not for it.
Seasons
Saffron, amber and cedar make autumn its best season, and the pink pepper and rose give it a spring option. Summer heat would flatten it.
Occasions
Warm and striking, it is made for dates and evenings out, and works for casual days. It is too bold for the office.
