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.
O Boticário's Ameixa Negra is a seduction weapon, a dark, juicy plum wrapped in a velvety embrace. Forget 'body splash' - this opulent, carnal fragrance performs like a high-end EDP, generating compliments and leaving a lasting, sensual impression. It’s absolutely divine.

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 spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Occasions
This fragrance is deemed 'carnal' and 'sexual' by reviewers, with strong performance for a body splash, making it less suitable for professional offices. Its alluring, warm, and sweet character is perfect for dates and evening events, but it can be worn casually if applied lightly.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Fruity, Floral, Sweet accords and Jasmine, Musk notes
