Which Should You Buy?
A divisive relaunch, KVD Saint 2017 polarises: some find it a delightful, inoffensive fruity-floral, while others dismiss it as generic and fleeting. This might be a 'love it or leave it' situation, but don't expect it to hang around long enough to make up your mind.
If you're after a sweet, soft, and remarkably similar scent to other Maison Alhambra offerings, this is a safe bet. It's pleasant but utterly unoriginal, so don't expect it to stand out from the crowd.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its gentle sillage and short longevity make it an excellent choice for the office or casual daytime wear, as it's unlikely to offend. However, for dates or formal events, its tendency to fade quickly means it might not leave a lasting impression.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
This is a soft, unobtrusive scent, making it suitable for office wear and casual settings where you don't want to overpower. Its gentle nature means it's less suited for formal occasions or sports where a stronger projection or a different scent profile would be desired.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Fruity, Sweet, Vanilla accords and Lily Of The Valley, Peach notes
