Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, nostalgic, and often dismissed as 'basic,' Someday by Justin Bieber is a sugary sweet trip down memory lane for many. Don't let the celebrity name put you off - or make you spray with reckless abandon, as this fruity floral can be surprisingly potent.
This is a seriously polarising scent, where its intense sweetness and unique character either hit just right or miss by a mile. It is a sugary monster that isn't for the faint of heart, or nose.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
This scent's moderate sillage and sweetness make it a good fit for casual wear; several reviews mention it as a great everyday or school scent. However, its 'loud' and potentially 'overwhelming' nature for some users suggests caution for formal or office settings.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong, dense, and potentially cloying nature, Forbidden Sugar is best suited for cooler weather and intimate settings like a date night. It's too overwhelming for an office or formal environment, and its sweetness makes it unsuitable for casual daytime wear in warmer conditions, let alone sport.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Sweet, Powdery, Fruity accords and Jasmine, Pear notes
