Which Should You Buy?
A divisive one, this. For some, it's a sophisticated, creamy floral with seductive depth. For others, it's just 'generic' or 'nauseatingly sweet'. Definitely try before you buy, but for those it clicks with, it's a winner.
A budget take on Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa '76, Golden Currant captures the juicy blackcurrant-and-jasmine fruity-floral that made the disco-era mist a hit. As an EDP it holds longer than the original mist, leaning a touch simpler in the sweet, ambery drydown.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
While many classify it as a night-time or date scent due to its depth and sweetness, its lighter body mist format means it won't overpower. The fruity-floral opening makes it versatile for casual wear, but the creamy caramel and patchouli ensure it's too rich for workouts.
Seasons
The juicy blackcurrant and bright florals feel sunniest in spring and summer, with enough ambery warmth to carry into autumn.
Occasions
A radiant, playful fruity-floral that suits casual daily wear and easygoing dates.
