Which Should You Buy?
A divisive powerhouse from the 90s, Yvresse is not for the faint of heart. It's a bold, celebratory scent many adore, but others find dated. Approach with caution, but expect sparkling, fruity richness if it clicks.
A legendary, much-missed 90s powerhouse, Venezia is a complex, opulent fruity-amber scent that inspires fierce loyalty and nostalgia. Modern reformulations might miss the mark, but the vintage original is a rare and beloved masterpiece.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
