Which Should You Buy?
A budget take on Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa '76, Golden Currant captures the juicy blackcurrant-and-jasmine fruity-floral that made the disco-era mist a hit. As an EDP it holds longer than the original mist, leaning a touch simpler in the sweet, ambery drydown.
A truly divisive Alien flanker - some adore its creamy kiwi-amber twist on the original's jasmine, finding it a tropical dream. Others are left cold by synthetic soapiness or overpowering sweetness, calling it an instant headache. Definitely try before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The juicy blackcurrant and bright florals feel sunniest in spring and summer, with enough ambery warmth to carry into autumn.
Occasions
A radiant, playful fruity-floral that suits casual daily wear and easygoing dates.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and remarkable longevity, this scent is best suited for dates or casual evenings. It's too potent and distinctive for office wear, and its warmth doesn't align with sporty activities. Its exotic nature could work for semi-formal events.
