Which Should You Buy?
A creamy gardenia heart with jasmine, soft citrus and a clean musk-vanilla base. Gardenia Dore is the budget Lady Million whisper, polished, feminine and built for spring office wear.
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Couture Couture polarises, hitting some with nostalgic 'vintage glam' vibes and others with 'granny' - often for the exact same reasons. Expect an opulent white floral explosion with a twist of grape and plum, but check your skin chemistry first.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A creamy gardenia-jasmine heart over light citrus and clean musk wears at its best in spring and summer, with enough warmth from the amber-vanilla base to extend into early autumn.
Occasions
A polished white-floral signature that suits office, date and casual wear; the soft projection lacks the gravity for formal evenings and the floral richness reads too dressed for sport.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its bold floral and amber profile, coupled with reports of good longevity, makes it too assertive for a quiet office but ideal for evening dates and formal events. While some find it suitable for casual wear, its luxurious feel generally elevates it beyond everyday errands.
