Which Should You Buy?
This one's a bit of a head-scratcher. While it's got a loyal following for its nostalgic charm and undeniable similarity to a certain famous 'poisonous' scent, a fair few find it an unpleasant, cheap imitation. Not one for a blind buy, then, unless you're feeling adventurous.
A divisive flanker that aims for 'modern' but splits opinion right down the middle. Some find it a youthful, sweet take on the original; others get a musty, cheap tartness. Definitely not a safe blind buy, despite what some say.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and intense, 'old school' floral-spicy profile make it less suitable for office or casual settings. It's much better suited for evening wear, whether that's a date or a formal event, where its strong character can shine without overwhelming.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its white floral and fruity accords make Lustre versatile, appropriate for many settings. While some find it too strong for everyday office wear, its warmth and touch of sweetness lends itself well to date nights and casual outings.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share White Floral, Woody, Sweet accords and Orris, Jasmine notes
