Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Alia
A truly gorgeous, spicy rose, Alia is a powerful Middle Eastern scent that demands respect. Not for the faint-hearted, this one can be overwhelming if oversprayed, but for those who love bold, luxurious fragrances, it's a treasure.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Gaia
Gaia is a properly sophisticated woody-floral scent, though it's quite the shapeshifter. Delicate and earthy, green and clean, it's a classy number that plays well with everyone.

Season and Occasion Fit

Alia

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong concentration and potent nature, Alia is best reserved for more intimate or formal settings. It would be overwhelming in an office and far too rich for casual wear or sport, but perfect for a romantic date or a sophisticated evening event.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Given its subtle projection and clean, balanced profile, Gaia is perfectly suited for office wear and casual settings where you don't want to overpower. It might be a little too understated for a grand formal event, but works well for a relaxed date.
