Which Should You Buy?
Craze is a fiercely divisive beast of a scent. Some rave about its rich almond and vanilla, calling it a no-brainer dupe, while others are utterly repulsed, likening it to cleaning products or even worse. Best to sample this one before committing; it's a love-it-or-hate-it affair.
Perseus is a crowd-pleasing, creamy almond and vanilla bomb that punches well above its weight class. Some find its opening a bit rough around the edges or too 'play-doh' but the drydown wins most over, with many hailing it as a true dupe for a much pricier original.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and often mentioned intensity, Craze is perhaps a bit too much for a confined office space. Its warm, nutty-vanilla profile makes it excellent for dates or casual outings, especially in cooler weather, but it lacks the universal appeal for formal events.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its strong vanilla and almond accords lean towards evening wear or cooler climates, making it a great choice for dates and formal events without being too heavy. While quite versatile, its richness might be a bit much for a strictly professional office setting or high-energy sport activities.
