Which Should You Buy?
This isn't 'Fragile' at all. It's a bold, spicy tuberose with serious vintage glamour, best worn when you want to make a statement. Prepare for compliments; just don't expect a delicate flower.
Surprisingly Chanel No. 5-esque, this Molton Brown scent is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect clean, musky vanilla with a whisper of florals rather than the bold ylang-ylang its name suggests. Those seeking a subtle, almost 'background' fragrance will appreciate its gentle charm.

Occasions
Its delicate sillage and soft character make it suitable for office wear, yet it might be too subtle for a formal event or a date where you want to make a statement.
