Which Should You Buy?
A classic white-floral composition led by orange blossom, gardenia and jasmine over a warm amber base. Spring and summer date and evening wear for those who like soft, heady florals with a quiet animalic depth.
A truly polarising floral that weaves together dark booziness, smoke, and a melancholic gardenia. This isn't a bright, happy flower; it's a dramatic, complex narrative for those who appreciate scent as an art form rather than a simple accessory. Discontinued, but fiercely desired by those who adore its tragic beauty.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
White floral notes (orange blossom, gardenia, jasmine) read as bright spring and summer wear; warm amber base extends transition into fall but the floral heart is too light for deep winter.
Occasions
Heady white-floral profile and amber warmth pitch this at dates and casual romantic settings; suitable for formal occasions with the right context. Too floral for sport, a touch too sweet for office.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its dark, boozy, and smoky character makes it unsuitable for professional settings. However, its complex and sensual nature, often described as 'tragic and beautiful', lends itself perfectly to intimate evening wear or formal events where it can be appreciated without overwhelming a casual environment.
