Which Should You Buy?
A plush almond and narcissus cocoon with playful hints of banana and creamy sandalwood, Perfect Intense is equal parts chic, comforting, and a little bit quirky. It is a bold, sweet, and modern signature for those who love nutty florals with a unique twist.
Divisive, intriguing, and undeniably potent - High Frequency is a creamy, almond-laced floral that demands attention but won't be everyone's cup of tea. Expect polarising opinions and a love-it-or-hate-it reception.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Perfect Intense is warm, nutty, and creamy, making it ideal for fall and winter's cooler temperatures, though the uplifting yellow florals and playful fruity aspects make it wearable in spring. Its intensity and sweetness can feel cloying in high heat, so it's less suited for summer.
Occasions
Its creamy, sweet, and bold character makes it perfect for dates and cozy occasions, while its projection and intensity require a light hand in office or formal settings. The gourmand-nutty profile is not ideal for sport or high-activity environments.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent projection and distinct scent, often described as 'beast mode' by reviewers, make it less ideal for a conservative office environment. However, the sensual and luxurious profile is perfect for dates and evening events, bringing an elegant confidence that stands out.
