Which Should You Buy?
This one is a properly divisive beast - people either rave about its boozy rose and vanilla elegance or recoil from a sickly, synthetic mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so test it before you commit to a full bottle.
This is Talco, plain and simple. If you're after a sophisticated take on baby powder, New Notes delivers exactly that. It's polarising, with some finding it a comforting, clean dream and others dismissing it as too literal and, frankly, overpriced for what it is.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its strong projection and rich, boozy gourmand notes make it too imposing for office wear but perfect for dates and evening events. Casual wear is possible, especially in cooler weather, but it's certainly more dressy than relaxed.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent longevity and sillage mean a light hand is needed, making it less ideal for enclosed office spaces or formal events. However, its clean, comforting profile makes it perfect for casual wear, especially at home, and it's even described as a 'perfect after-gym perfume' by some.
