Which Should You Buy?
A divisive beast - some adore its complex, bold character, others find it too much or just plain weird. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but worth trying if you're after something truly different and don't mind standing out.
A truly gorgeous, apricot-tinged osmanthus with a sophisticated resinous base that many reviewers adore, though some find it a bit too linear for the price point. Definitely a 'love at first sniff' for most, despite some nitpicking about its evolution.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Occasions
Its bold and projecting nature, driven by strong amber and woody accords, makes it unsuitable for the office but perfect for dates where you want to make an impression. It can also hold its own in more formal evening settings, though some might find the gourmand lean a bit too casual for certain occasions.
Seasons
An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.
Occasions
Its rich, resinous warmth leans into a more intimate or formal setting rather than a casual or office environment. The sensuous Amber and Floral notes make it particularly suitable for dates and elegant occasions.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Amber, Floral, Fruity accords and Osmanthus, Sandalwood notes
