Which Should You Buy?
Lagerfeld Classic is a proper old-school powerhouse, delivering a warm, spicy, and often polarising punch. This fragrance is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with many finding it dated but undeniably charismatic. If you like vintage scents, you'll likely adore its bold statement and incredible value, while others will run for the hills.
Alia Edition 2018 is a divisive little number. Some reckon it's a unique, sweet-green dream; others find it a bit of a musky mess. You'll either love its candy-floss woods or give it a wide berth.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, paired with its rich, oriental character, make it less suitable for office wear where subtlety is preferred. However, these same qualities, especially the sensual amber and tobacco, are perfect for dates and evening formal events, though perhaps a bit much for casual daytime if over-sprayed.
Seasons
Occasions
Its prominent sweet and musky accords make it a bit much for a formal setting or the office, but it's great for casual wear. The playful sweetness and musky warmth also lend themselves well to a relaxed date night.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Sweet, Musky, Woody accords and Rose, Green notes
