Which Should You Buy?
A beloved flanker to the original Flower, this limited edition is a charmingly powdery, creamy floral. While some found it off-puttingly dry or just 'the same as the original', fans adored its softer, sweeter take, often mourning its discontinuation.
Volupté is a polarising floral bomb from the 90s, often drawing comparisons to Tresor but with its own unique, sometimes sharp, character. Not for the faint-hearted, it's a love-it-or-hate-it scent with a loyal following for its bold, complex charm.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its soft, powdery floral character makes it highly suitable for office and casual wear, as it's generally inoffensive but distinct. The creamy and slightly sweet profile also works well for dates, but it might lack the gravitas for truly formal events or the freshness for sport.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its significant projection and longevity make it less ideal for a formal office setting. However, its complex, rich floral nature and warm drydown lend themselves well to evening dates and formal events, with some finding it suitable for casual wear too.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Floral, Yellow Floral, Powdery accords and Mandarin, Patchouli notes
