Which Should You Buy?
This one is definitely a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with many finding the opening sharp or 'old lady-ish', but for those who stick with it, L'Extase evolves into a sophisticated, sexy, jammy rose that's perfect for making a statement.
Gold XI follows Kayali's discontinued Elixir 11, that gorgeous apple-rose into patchouli-amber-vanilla. Perfume Parlour captures the fruity-rose opening and warm gourmand-woody base, pushing the vanilla a shade sweeter while the rose feels a little less refined than the original.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its strong projection and enduring longevity, combined with its sweet and heavy nature, make it less suitable for the office. However, these same characteristics elevate it for dates and formal events, particularly in colder weather, where its warmth and depth can truly shine.
Seasons
The warm patchouli, amber and vanilla over fruity rose lean cool-weather, peaking in autumn and winter while still pretty in spring.
Occasions
Romantic and warm, it favours evenings and dates, with enough versatility to carry through a normal day or dress up.
