Which Should You Buy?
Francesca Bianchi's Lost in Heaven is a divisive, unapologetically animalic floral that some find a 'masterpiece' and others a 'halitosis sundae'. It's bold, complex, and demands respect, but certainly isn't a blind buy.
This is a seriously polarising scent, loved by some for its unique take on amber florals, but equally chastised for its poor performance or unpleasant opening. If you can get past the quirks, it's a classy, modern oriental with vintage vibes.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
This fragrance is an extrait with excellent longevity and sillage, making it too powerful for most office environments. Its sensual and opulent nature, combined with a strong animalic presence, makes it ideal for dates and evening formal events where making a statement is desired, but less suitable for casual or sport wear.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and sophisticated, warm amber-floral character make it excellent for dates and formal events. While some find it too much for the office, its subdued presence indoors means it could work for more relaxed professional settings. It's too rich and complex for casual, everyday wear or sport.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Amber, Citrus, Yellow Floral accords and Musk, Ambergris notes
