Which Should You Buy?
Tom Ford's Black Violet is a divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it woodland odyssey. Discontinued, of course, because anything this interesting can't possibly stick around. If you track down an authentic bottle, you're in for a ride.
A divisive one, this. Bluebird aims for a fresh, fruity escape, but some find it a bit too muddled and sharp, whereas others adore its unique, quirky charm.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong character and occasional beast-mode performance, this isn't one for the office. It truly shines on a date or for formal events, where its mysterious and sensual qualities can be appreciated without being overpowering. Casual wear is possible, but it feels a bit much for everyday errands.
Seasons
Occasions
Its fresh and fruity profile makes it suitable for casual wear and might even pass for office use, as an EDT will likely be moderate in projection. However, the prominent fruity and green accords mean it's not quite right for formal events.
