Which Should You Buy?
A truly coveted fragrance, Jour de Fete is an almond-wheat dream that divides opinion due to its notoriously fleeting nature. Those who love it are absolutely obsessed, calling it a discontinued masterpiece and a 'great white whale'. Be warned, though - its subtlety might frustrate some.
This one's a battleground. Some thrill at its 'skanky vanilla' vibe, others are absolutely repulsed by what they politely call 'bathroom air freshener'. It's a challenging wear, but if you're into divisive fragrances, this might be your jam.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its soft sillage and intimate nature make it perfect for office wear or casual comfort, as it won't offend anyone. While not overtly romantic, its gentle sweetness could work for close-encounter dates. It's too subtle for formal events where more projection is typically desired, and entirely unsuitable for sport.
Seasons
A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.
Occasions
Its potent initial blast, a source of division amongst reviewers, and strong vanilla-almond character make it less suitable for professional or formal settings. It's better suited for a bold statement on a date night or a casual evening out, given its intensity and divisive nature.
