Which Should You Buy?
This flanker struggles to define itself, ending up a bit of a meh-pile. It tries too hard to be grown-up and mysterious but just delivers a mishmash of sweet fruit and patchouli that doesn't quite work for everyone. A bit of a wallflower, sadly.
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 cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its sweet, syrupy opening and warm amber-patchouli base, this scent leans towards evening wear and cooler seasons. While some find it subtle, others experience it as heavy, making it less ideal for a professional office setting or formal events. It's best suited for dates or casual outings where its warm, gourmand fruity notes can shine without being obtrusive.
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.
