Which Should You Buy?
This EDT flanker is a divisive one, splitting opinion between those who find it a lighter, fresher take on the original, and those who feel it loses the EDP's magic, becoming generic. It's discontinued now, much to the chagrin of its ardent fans.
Florence is a divisive powerhouse. Its boisterous blackcurrant and patchouli combo means you'll either adore its bold, sensual sillage or find it overwhelmingly synthetic and a bit 'old lady'. Definitely not a Wallflower's fragrance.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Occasions
Its lighter nature and moderate strength make it suitable for office wear and casual outings without being overwhelming. While it can be worn on dates, some find it lacks the gravitas for formal events, preferring a bolder scent.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its nuclear sillage and exceptional longevity, Florence isn't suited for office wear, where it might overwhelm. It excels in date night and formal settings, where its rich, confident aroma can truly shine, but it's too much for casual or sportwear.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Fruity, Citrus, Woody accords and Blackcurrant, Patchouli notes
