Which Should You Buy?
Quartz is a divisive classic, a love-it-or-hate-it green chypre that's either 'heaven in a bottle' or 'bugspray'. It's a proper grown-up scent, confident and complex, not for the faint of heart or those who prefer modern gourmands.
Maya by Tocca is a divisive 'fruitchouli' that some hail as mysterious and unique, while others dismiss it as generic and fleeting. Expect a lively debate - if you can even smell it that long.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and autumn.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and clean, fresh character make it ideal for office and casual wear, as noted by several reviewers. It's a bit too 'serious' and potentially polarising for formal events, and definitely not suited for sport due to its lack of typical 'sporty' notes.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and poor longevity make it suitable for close encounters like dates, but its earthy-fruity profile might be too dark for an office. The 'witchy' and 'sultry' descriptions lean it away from casual daytime wear.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Woody, Fruity, Earthy accords and Rose, Jasmine notes
