Which Should You Buy?
This perfume is a divisive one. While some find it to be a unique, sexy, and addictive blend of dark fruits and cacao, others are let down by its perceived weakness and lack of longevity compared to its predecessor. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, often depending on skin chemistry and expectations.
A truly divisive rose, with some finding it a comforting, intimate embrace and others recoiling from a 'medicinal' or 'old-school' vibe. If you love a jammy rose with a shot of bitter coffee, this might be your unconventional cup of tea.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its intimate sillage and seductive, dark profile mean it's ideal for dates and evening events where you want to make a statement without overpowering. However, its perceived weakness by some users makes it less suitable for formal settings requiring strong projection, and it's certainly not a sport fragrance.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and intimate nature make it suitable for close encounters like dates, where its warmth cultivates romance. While perhaps a bit too cosy for a formal setting, it's elegant enough to pass, particularly in cooler months, but its distinctive character might be distracting for an office environment. This is certainly not for sport, its rich warmth conflicting with activity.
