Which Should You Buy?
Lalibela by Memo Paris is a deeply polarising one. Some adore its creamy, sophisticated floral-gourmand sweetness, finding it addictive and elegant. Others find it dated, cloying, even plastic-like - a true love-it-or-hate-it scent.
Divisive, potent, and sometimes polarising, Casta Diva is a big, bold yellow and white floral that demands attention. Those who love it find it heavenly, but a significant minority find it overpowering and cloying. Approach with caution, but if it works for you, it's a stunner.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and vanilla sweetness, it’s a bit much for the office. However, its sophisticated and sensual character makes it ideal for dates and formal events. While some find it too much, many reviews highlight its long-lasting nature and elegant appeal, making it versatile for many non-casual settings.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, as described by many reviews, make it less suited for an intimate office setting, but perfect for date nights or evenings out. The lush tropical florals lend themselves well to casual wear and can be dressed up for formal occasions, provided it's applied lightly.
