Which Should You Buy?
A modern classic that’s been cruelly discontinued, Stella is mourned by many as the ultimate rose. It's a fresh, elegant rose that manages to be both timeless and contemporary, though some find its performance fleeting.
A warm, sweet, and comforting vanilla-amber blend that's divided but much-loved for its impressive performance, especially in oil format. Some call it a masterpiece, a few find it basic, but it’s mostly praised as a versatile, affordable gem for those who crave a rich, enveloping scent.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its elegant and soft projection makes it suitable for office wear, though some find a lack of longevity needing reapplication. The romantic rose heart and warm amber base lend themselves perfectly to date nights, while its overall gentle nature can work for casual wear too. It might be too understated for grand formal events and definitely too delicate for sport.
