Which Should You Buy?
Visa is a beautiful, complex fruity-woody marvel for those who want to smell sophisticated without sacrificing any sexiness. It's often compared to Angel, but usually with the caveat that Visa is the classier, more refined older sister. Though there's some love-it-or-hate-it debate, the adoration is overwhelming.
Voleur de Roses is a divisive beast: an earthy, gothic take on rose and patchouli that some adore as a masterpiece, while others find it a damp, mouldy mess. It's a proper love-it-or-hate-it scent with a uniquely dark charm that's certainly not for the faint of heart.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its bold, earthy rose and patchouli character, combined with reports of moderate to good longevity, make it a bit much for the office. However, its dark and sensual nature means it truly shines as a date night or formal evening scent. Casual wear is possible if you're feeling a bit edgy, but sport is a definite no-go.
