Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, so don't even think about a blind buy. When it works, it's a stellar tropical vibe, but for some, it's a scrub-off disaster of cleaning products and synthetic mess. Proceed with caution and a clear nose.
Divisive doesn't even begin to cover it. You'll either love this blast of sun-soaked florals and creamy coconut, or you'll find it an overwhelming, synthetic mess. Sample before committing, unless you fancy smelling like a public toilet or an old shampoo.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its potent projection and intense floral-musky character make it a poor fit for an office. It shines on a date or for casual wear where its bold, tropical sensuality can be appreciated. The strong sillage means it's definitely not for sport.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its potent floral and musky character, often described as 'in your face', is a bit much for the office. However, its summery, bold projection makes it ideal for casual outings, dates, and even sports where its 'clean girl' freshness can shine after the initial intensity wanes.
