Which Should You Buy?
Aldebaran is Quentin Bisch at his most polarising: a love-it-or-hate-it tuberose that redefines the genre. It's weird, challenging, and frankly unforgettable, a beast with serious projection that will turn heads - for better or worse.
Orchid Seed recreates Jo Malone's Vanilla & Anise, the transparent, herbal-spicy vanilla-floral. It captures the gentle star-anise-and-fennel freshness and that frangipani-jasmine-vanilla heart; since the original is itself a light, short-lived linear scent, the dupe's skin-close, modest-longevity character lands close to type for the price.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its beastly sillage and unique, often challenging, profile make Aldebaran wholly unsuitable for office or sport. It's better reserved for more relaxed casual settings or bold date nights where its distinctive character can shine without overwhelming.
Seasons
The light, spiced vanilla-floral freshness suits spring and summer, staying wearable into autumn.
Occasions
Clean and comforting, it works for casual daytime, the office and easygoing date nights.
