Which Should You Buy?
Ricci Ricci is a love-it-or-hate-it scent, often polarising but adored by its fans. Many consider it a unique, sassy chypre floral with a fruity twist. It's an often-discontinued but still-available gem that smells far more expensive and complex than its price tag suggests.
This one's a divisive beast. Some adore its hyper-realistic tropical garden vibe, others are convinced it smells like an old lady, bathroom cleaner, or even worse. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if you're into bold, green florals, it might just be your next love.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent nature and prominent sillage, as noted by appreciative coworkers and strangers alike, suggest a need for caution in professional settings. However, its elegant and seductive character makes it a standout choice for romantic evenings and formal events.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its beast-mode projection and longevity make it too potent for an office, potentially overwhelming colleagues. However, the strong, distinctive floral and green character, often described as 'tropical' or 'garden-like', makes it suitable for casual wear or an evening date where it can truly shine.
