Which Should You Buy?
A truly polarising scent, Velvet Iris is either a masterclass in niche perfumery with its compelling dark iris and woody accords, or a bafflingly weak scent for the price. Love it or hate it, just don't expect it to last.
If you're after a unique, modern sweetness with an unexpected twist, Starman deserves your attention. It's a divisive one, but those who 'get' it absolutely love its bold, sugary coconut vibe - a true standout that won't blend into the crowd.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its subtle projection and short longevity make it suitable for close-quarters like office or dinner dates, where a powerful scent isn't ideal. The unique woody and powdery accords lend themselves well to both casual and slightly more formal settings, though its poor performance limits its impact.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
The prominent sweet and fruity notes, especially the caramel and coconut, make this scent better suited for leisure than formal settings. While its uniqueness could work for a relaxed office, it truly shines on dates or casual outings where its bold character can be appreciated.
