Patou For Ever Eau de Toilette vs Alien Sunessence Edition Limitee 2011 Or d'Ambre Eau de Toilette
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A truly polarising scent, Patou For Ever either delights with its unique fruity chypre charm or disgusts with sour, sweaty undertones. It demands a try before you buy, as skin chemistry plays a massive role in its bizarre transformations.
A truly divisive Alien flanker - some adore its creamy kiwi-amber twist on the original's jasmine, finding it a tropical dream. Others are left cold by synthetic soapiness or overpowering sweetness, calling it an instant headache. Definitely try before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Given its strong sillage and debated longevity, it might be a bit much for a formal office setting. However, many find it suitable for an informal office, and its fruity, uplifting character makes it great for casual outings and dates. The controversial 'sweaty' note makes it unsuitable for sport.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and remarkable longevity, this scent is best suited for dates or casual evenings. It's too potent and distinctive for office wear, and its warmth doesn't align with sporty activities. Its exotic nature could work for semi-formal events.
