Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive beast. Many find it an 'intensive' experience: a bold, unapologetic take on rose-oud that's both lauded for its power and loathed for its 'soapy' or 'hair spray' notes. Proceed with caution, and definitely sample first.
Divisive yet adored, Fame is a sweet, smoky surprise that defied expectations. While some wanted more edge from Gaga, this honeyed floral proved to be a sentimental favourite, now fetching ridiculous prices as a discontinued icon.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and intense, spicy-oud profile make it overwhelming for office environments, but it suits dates and formal events where making a statement is desired. It's too heavy and sophisticated for casual wear or sport.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its sweet and sensual profile, combined with generally moderate projection, makes it ideal for date nights where intimacy is key. While many enjoyed it for evening wear and cooler weather, its potential for a heavy impression means a lighter hand is needed for office or casual settings.
