Which Should You Buy?
Narcotic Delight is a bold, boozy cherry-vanilla powerhouse that divides opinion; some find it a sexy, addictive masterpiece, while others are put off by its intensity, synthetic vibe, or overwhelming sweetness. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
Narcotic Bliss chases Initio Narcotic Delight, the boozy cherry-cognac-tobacco. The dark cherry-dipped-in-cognac signature with its smoky tobacco-vanilla base comes through well, but Perfume Parlour reads more candied and synthetic, missing some of the Initio's intoxicating, classy depth.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its enormous sillage and longevity, this scent is ill-suited for the office, where it could easily overpower colleagues. Its seductive boozy cherry and tobacco notes, frequently described in reviews as 'sexy' and 'intoxicating', make it ideal for dates and evening events. While leaning towards night-time wear, its opulent character also fits formal evening gatherings, but it's too heavy and sweet for casual daytime or sport.
Seasons
A boozy, smoky cherry gourmand built for cold weather; it shines in autumn and winter and feels heavy in summer heat.
Occasions
Its sensual, statement character suits evenings, dates and dressed-up occasions far more than the office or sport.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Sweet, Tobacco, Warm Spicy accords and Cherry, Pink Pepper notes
