Criminal of Love

Which Should You Buy?
This is a divisive but much-lauded beast of a fragrance. If you're after a sophisticated, intensely dark rose that sticks around for days, this is your weapon. But be warned, it's not for the faint-hearted and can be headache-inducing for some.
This one's a passionate affair, not a casual fling. Criminal of Love is a dark, sensual rose-tobacco blend that polarises with its intensity. While some find it an intoxicating masterpiece, others are put off by its 'medicinal' opening. Definitely not for the faint of heart, or for the office, apparently.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its nuclear performance and intense sillage, this extrait is far too overwhelming for office or casual wear. It truly shines in formal or evening date settings, commanding attention without being overtly playful.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and overtly sensual nature, this scent is entirely unsuitable for the office, as many reviewers agree. It shines brightest on dates or for special evening occasions where its captivating, dark intensity can truly be appreciated, making it a poor choice for casual wear or sport.
