Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper old-school floral, a love-it-or-hate-it affair that got axed fast. If you're after 'vintage' without the baggage, it's a quiet gem, but don't expect it to smell 'modern' in the slightest.
Anna chases Roja Dove Karenina's aldehydic floral-powdery romance. The sparkling aldehyde opening into a ylang-carnation-frangipani heart reads true to the brief, but as a budget dupe it lands flatter, with the niche original's complexity and 12-hour wear softened.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong, warm floral profile and potential for significant sillage, Karenina leans towards evening and formal wear. While some find it 'clean' and appropriate for daytime casual, its intensity and classic character might be overwhelming for an office environment.
Seasons
The powdery aldehydic florals over warm musk and vanilla suit spring and the cooler seasons, easing in deep summer heat.
Occasions
Its elegant, dressed-up floral character favours formal occasions, evenings and dates over sport or casual daytime.
