Which Should You Buy?
This is *the* photo-realistic lilac, for better or worse. It's a gorgeous spring day for some, a potent green punch for others, and for a few, an unfortunately fecal floral. Discontinued, but still sparking intense devotion among its fans.
Divisive, perplexing, and at times downright unpleasant. What starts as a fresh, dewy floral quickly collapses into something synthetic and surprisingly ammonia-like. Some find beauty in its unique blend; others can't wash it off fast enough. Proceed with extreme caution and definitely don't blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Occasions
Its realistic green floral character makes it highly suited for casual wear and spring days. While beautiful, its sometimes potent sillage and divisive ambergris note might be too much for formal settings or a reserved office environment.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its initial fresh and clean profile makes it suitable for casual wear or an office setting if applied lightly. However, its often-criticised synthetic dry down and polarizing nature make it less ideal for dates or formal events where broad appeal is key. Performance is moderate, so it won't overwhelm in closer quarters.
