Which Should You Buy?
Divisive yet addictive, this 'fruity yogurt' gourmand has fans obsessed with its unique creamy, tart sweetness - but beware of a screechy dry down and a potentially short lifespan on the skin.
A sweet, spiced amber built on cinnamon, praline and dates over vanilla and myrrh. Imperial is the gourmand-leaning crowd-pleaser of the Prestige line, and the most obviously seasonal of the nine.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
While some find it good for an 'office smell', its strong gourmand character leans more towards date nights and casual wear. The sweetness and potential for a 'screechy' dry-down might be too distracting for formal or professional settings, and its warmth makes it unsuitable for active sports.
Seasons
Cinnamon, praline, dates and vanilla are cold-weather materials that turn heavy and cloying in heat. Autumn and winter air gives the myrrh and amberwood room to hold the sweetness in shape.
Occasions
The sweetness and early projection make it too forward for shared office air but excellent for evenings out and cold-weather weekends. It reads sociable rather than formal.
