Which Should You Buy?
This flanker of Elysium is a divisive one. Many find it a refreshing, zesty update to the original, amping up the citrus and adding a unique rhubarb tartness. However, a significant number of people find the performance abysmal and the scent profile too generic or even unpleasant, like cleaning product. Try before you buy, it's not a safe blind-buy for everyone.
Skip this one. It's a harsh, chemical mess that tries to do too much and ends up doing nothing well. Far too synthetic to be enjoyable.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Despite its 'Intense' moniker, this fragrance is widely reported to have moderate to weak performance, making it suitable for office wear without being overpowering. Its fresh and vibrant profile is perfect for casual outings and warmer weather, and it's certainly a crowd-pleaser for dates. While it could work for some formal events, other scents might offer more gravitas.
Seasons
Occasions
Given the very mixed and often negative reviews concerning its synthetic nature and harshness, this isn't suitable for close-quarters like the office or a date. Its muddled character also prevents it from shining in formal or sport settings, making it a difficult wear for most occasions.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Woody, Green, Citrus accords and Lily Of The Valley, Violet Leaf notes
