Which Should You Buy?
A legendary 80s floral beast from Paul Sebastian, Design is a love-it-or-hate-it scent with zero middle ground. If you missed out on big, unapologetic white florals, or you just prefer your civet loud, this one's for you.
A shape-shifting floral that starts with a punchy jasmine before settling into a warm, vanilla-musk embrace. Definitely not a skin scent, this one's got serious projection and wears like a dream.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its beast-mode performance and strong white floral-animalic accords make it too potent for an office setting. However, for a confident wearer, its luxurious feel and attention-grabbing sillage are perfect for dates, casual outings (when applied sparingly), and formal events.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its significant projection and strong sillage, as noted by a reviewer, make it less ideal for office settings where subtlety is preferred. However, the warm, sensual dry down makes it excellent for dates and formal events, and its lasting power is suitable for longer casual wear.
