Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cat Deluxe EDP
A divisive scent that evokes strong nostalgia for some and strong dislike for others. It's a playful, sweet-spicy ride - perfect for those who embrace its unique, sometimes challenging, character.
Statement
Our Verdict - Notorious EDP
Notorious is an absolute chameleon, equally likely to spark adoration as it is disdain. Forget the name, it's a classy, intriguing floral with a surprising gourmand twist that some find divine and others, well, just a bit off.

Season and Occasion Fit

Cat Deluxe

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Autumn

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

With its noticeable sillage and warm, spicy character, Cat Deluxe is best suited for social settings rather than the office. Reviewers often mention it as a "clubbing perfume" or for drawing compliments on dates.

Notorious

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate sillage and longevity, coupled with its elegant, warm spicy-floral profile, make it suitable for office and sophisticated evenings. However, its distinctive character might be a bit much for casual wear, and it lacks the freshness for sport.
