Which Should You Buy?
A solid, affordable alternative to Penhaligon's Halfeti, Poise delivers a deep, ambery-woody experience. Some call it a bargain, others find it a bit generic - but it's generally well-received for its rich, elegant dry-down, especially at the price.
Sultana is a divisive, powerhouse oriental that is either a gorgeous, sensual oud-rose or an overpowering 'old-lady' scent that demands attention. Definitely not for the faint of heart, it's a bold statement for those who dare.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
With its impressive longevity and moderate projection, Poise is versatile enough for many settings, including office wear according to reviews. However, its rich amber and woody backbone, while elegant, leans more towards date nights and formal events than casual or sporty activities.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its 'powerhouse' projection and 'lasts forever' longevity, Sultana is best suited for evenings and special occasions where its strong oriental profile can shine without overwhelming those around you. It's too potent for casual wear or the office, but perfect for dates or formal events where you want to make an impression.
