Which Should You Buy?
A grape-soaked white-floral musk from the 2015 Section d'Or - gardenia and tuberose stained purple by methyl-anthranilate, lifted by an unusual pine-and-civet undertone before a long, fuzzy musk dry-down. Polarising; collector-only today.
A divisive summer scent that captures the essence of a tropical getaway - if you can get past the initial fruit cocktail and its disappointing staying power. Some rave about its unique beachy charm, others dismiss it as a cheap, fleeting scent.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
White-floral and musk core wears well across spring and autumn evenings; the narcotic gardenia-tuberose body is too rich for high summer and too soft for deep winter cold.
Occasions
Narcotic-floral evening composition fits date and formal evening best; the indolic grape opening makes it too distinctive for office or sport, casual wear only with cooler weather.
Seasons
A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.
Occasions
Its fresh, fruity tropical accords make it ideal for casual wear, especially in summer. However, its often-reported poor longevity means frequent reapplication is needed, making it less suitable for formal or office settings.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share White Floral, Floral, Musky accords and Amber, Musk notes
