Which Should You Buy?
This is a real marmite scent - you'll either adore its warm, golden embrace or find it a bit too much. Sublime is a truly classic, sophisticated floral that demands attention, but be warned: reformulations divide opinion, so hunt for a vintage bottle if you want the full, unadulterated experience.
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some swear it's a classy, clean floral, others reckon it's a cheap, diluted disappointment. Its fleeting nature is a common complaint, but those who love it are absolutely gutted it's discontinued.

Sublime's strong sillage and 'old money' feel make it less suitable for the office, where it might be too overpowering. It excels in formal and date settings, conveying elegance and sophistication, as many reviewers indicated it made them feel glamorous and well-dressed.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its generally weak sillage and poor longevity make it suitable for close-quarters like the office or casual outings without being overwhelming. The fresh, clean floral profile aligns well with daytime wear, but it's too subtle for a date or formal events where more impact is desired.
