Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Afternoon Delight EDT
The ultimate comfort scent for the dessert lover, Afternoon Delight envelops skin with creamy madeleine and whipped vanilla, finishing in a soft cloud of powdery musk. Best for cool weather and quiet moments of self-indulgence.
Statement
Our Verdict - Italica EDP
Italica is a true love-it-or-hate-it gourmand - a divisive, heavy-hitting dessert with an almond and milk core. Some will be instantly smitten, others will be scrubbing their skin red. If you dare to try, prepare for intense sweetness and don't overspray.

Season and Occasion Fit

Afternoon Delight

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Its creamy vanilla, sandalwood, and lactonic notes give Afternoon Delight a cozy, enveloping feel perfect for chilly fall and winter days, while the powdery-musky lift keeps it inviting in early spring. The sweetness and richness may feel heavy for hot summer weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

This scent is inviting and comforting, making it ideal for dates or casual outings. Its moderate projection and creamy sweetness suit the office if applied lightly but feel too intimate and dessert-like for sport or formal black tie.

Italica

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

This is a beast of a gourmand; its immense sweetness and strong projection make it unsuitable for professional settings. It shines on dates or in very cold, casual environments, where a rich, inviting scent can be appreciated. It's far too heavy for sports.
