Which Should You Buy?
This is a powdery, effortlessly elegant rose that divides opinion. Some find it beautiful and soft, others a dated headache. It's sadly discontinued, causing much wailing and gnashing of teeth among its devotees.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Masque Milano's Times Square is a raucous, rubbery, lipstick-laden creation that screams 'big city chaos'. Not for the faint of heart, but undeniably captivating for those who want a scent with serious character.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and often-mentioned 'office-safe' nature make it suitable for professional settings, while its elegant, romantic rose leans into date nights and formal events. The fresh floral and fruity aspects keep it versatile enough for daily casual wear, though its sophisticated character isn't ideal for sport.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and distinctive, unconventional aroma, Times Square is completely unsuitable for office wear. It truly shines for bold evening events or unique date nights where you want to make an impression, and is certainly not for casual everyday wear or sport.
