Which Should You Buy?
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.
This "Assassin" is a bit of a misnomer; it's less a dramatic killer and more a demure whisper. Expect a divisive experience: some will adore its quiet charm and vintage makeup vibes, while others will find its subtlety underwhelming and fleeting.

Season and Occasion Fit
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.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
Its soft sillage and powdery iris make it perfect for office or casual wear where it won't overwhelm. While elegant, its lack of projection might make it too demure for formal occasions unless you prefer a very intimate scent.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Powdery, Musky, Iris accords and Rose, Iris notes
