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.
Perfume Parlour's budget version of the original Dolce & Gabbana for Women (1992), that bold aldehydic-floral powerhouse. It captures the soapy aldehyde blast and carnation-led bouquet, just rendered flatter and with the original's 8-hour oomph trimmed back.

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 bold aldehydic florals and musky base lean richer, blooming best in autumn and winter while staying wearable on cooler spring days.
Occasions
A dressed-up, statement floral that suits formal occasions and evenings, with enough polish for office or a date.
