Which Should You Buy?
A grape-soaked white-floral musk from the 2015 Section d'Or - gardenia and tuberose stained purple by methyl-anthranilate, lifted by an unusual pine-and-civet undertone before a long, fuzzy musk dry-down. Polarising; collector-only today.
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
White-floral and musk core wears well across spring and autumn evenings; the narcotic gardenia-tuberose body is too rich for high summer and too soft for deep winter cold.
Occasions
Narcotic-floral evening composition fits date and formal evening best; the indolic grape opening makes it too distinctive for office or sport, casual wear only with cooler weather.
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.
