Which Should You Buy?
A divisive floral, Le Baiser by Lalique is either a beautiful, classic violet-rose bouquet for a refined lady, or a sickly sweet, old-fashioned scent fit only for your grandma. People feel strongly about this one, for better or worse.
A Bulgarian Otto rose soliflore from the 2015 Section d'Or - a lush, full-blooded rose veiled in peach, tuberose-edged greenness, styrax, and clean musk. Beautiful in the first hour, divisive in the dry-down.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its intensely floral and rich character makes it better suited for evening and romantic occasions, with many reviewers highlighting its sophisticated and romantic feel. Some find it office-friendly due to its delicate nature, but its strong projection in some concentrations might be too much for casual wear or sport.
Seasons
Lush damascena rose with peach and styrax sits warmest in autumn and cool spring; the white-musk dry-down is too soft for deep winter and the rose body too rich for high summer.
Occasions
Rose-soliflore character with carnation and styrax is a natural fit for date and formal evenings; not for sport, and too distinctive for casual day or office without cooler weather.
