Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper sweet shop bomb - sugary vanilla with a hint of burnt caramel, it's either a tooth-achingly delicious dream or a one-way ticket to play-doh city. Divisive but adored by gourmand lovers, if you can get past the price and potential "cat pee", you're in for a treat.
This much-hyped gourmand offers a yummy, warm-cuddly-comfort type of scent, almost universally loved for those who like the style. But be warned: a few find it artificial or plastic-y, and many report poor performance unless it's given time to "macerate" (a common complaint for Middle Eastern cheapies).

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its intensely sweet and sometimes potent sillage makes it less suitable for an office, but it's a stellar choice for casual wear given its comforting gourmand profile. For dates, its sensual and delicious nature makes it quite appealing, though it might be a bit too sweet for very formal events. It's clearly not designed for sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its intimate sillage and sweet gourmand profile make it perfect for casual wear and close encounters like dates. While some wear it to the office, its dessert-like nature might be too distracting for a formal setting. The lack of huge projection means it won't offend in most situations.
