Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, loud, and utterly 90s, Chloe Narcisse is a love-it-or-hate-it explosion of sweet, spicy florals. A true discontinued masterpiece for some, a cloying headache for others.
Madurai is a genuinely divisive scent. For some, it's a 'travel in a bottle' jasmine dream, fresh and intoxicating. For others, it's a synthetic peach mess with a screechy, even unpleasant dry-down. Definitely try before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage mean Narcisse is not suited for most offices, though a light hand might make it work. The rich, sweet floral-spicy profile makes it fantastic for dates and formal events, and it's celebrated by reviewers as a scent for 'real things that people do with one another'.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and excellent longevity, Madurai leans more towards social events than the office, where it might be too much for some. The fresh, fruity white floral profile makes it quite versatile for both casual outings and elegant dates, especially during warmer months.
