Which Should You Buy?
A divisive relaunch, KVD Saint 2017 polarises: some find it a delightful, inoffensive fruity-floral, while others dismiss it as generic and fleeting. This might be a 'love it or leave it' situation, but don't expect it to hang around long enough to make up your mind.
Karat by Maison Alhambra is a divisive fruity musk with a huge following. Some rave about its fresh, bright fruitiness and impressive performance after maceration, while others find it fleeting or too close to existing popular scents. It's a risk, but the payoff for some is huge.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its gentle sillage and short longevity make it an excellent choice for the office or casual daytime wear, as it's unlikely to offend. However, for dates or formal events, its tendency to fade quickly means it might not leave a lasting impression.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
While its fruity freshness makes it appealing for casual daywear and even some sporty activities, its strong projection and sweetness might be too much for the office. It's a great choice for dates or any occasion where you want to make a fun, confident statement without being overly formal.
