Which Should You Buy?
Kat Von D's Sinner is a divisive cult classic - one minute a 'sexy bubblegum' femme fatale, the next a 'plain, generic' scent. If you're after a dark, plummy patchouli with an 'old-lady' opening and a surprisingly soft landing, you might just find your new signature. Just don't expect it to last.
Louis Cardin's Musk Al Tahara is a fresh, powdery musk that’s either your clean-girl dream or a bit too sterile. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it affair, so test before you commit to this distinctive scent.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and 'dark, sexy' character make it excellent for dates or formal evening events. The 'warm, vanilla plum' and 'spicy dream' aspects also suit casual autumn/winter wear, but its intensity means it's less ideal for the office or sport.
Seasons
Occasions
This scent's clean, powdery nature and moderate sillage make it ideal for office and casual settings where you want to smell fresh without being overwhelming. It's too subtle for a formal event but could work for a relaxed date night.
