Which Should You Buy?
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.
A divisive blend that some adore for its unique woody-spicy character, offering a sophisticated edge, while others decry its weak performance. It's affordable, but opinions are split on whether it's a hidden gem or a fleeting disappointment.

Season and Occasion Fit
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.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and deep, spicy character make it suitable for evenings out or casual wear, but some find the projection too weak for a bold statement. While not strictly a formal scent, its sophistication gives it a slight edge there, but it's too much for office or sport.
