Which Should You Buy?
A lush jasmine-tuberose white floral with mandarin sparkle and warm musky-amber finish, widely positioned as M&S £10 take on YSL Black Opium. Romantic, sophisticated, surprisingly luxe.
A creamy gardenia heart with jasmine, soft citrus and a clean musk-vanilla base. Gardenia Dore is the budget Lady Million whisper, polished, feminine and built for spring office wear.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Lush jasmine-tuberose paired with creamy musky-amber warmth lands best in spring and autumn - mild enough to project without weight, warm enough to glow on cool evenings. High summer can read heady; deep winter lacks the gourmand depth.
Occasions
Moderate sillage and a romantic floral character make it a date-night and evening pick first, casual second. Too overtly feminine and projecting for typical office settings.
Seasons
A creamy gardenia-jasmine heart over light citrus and clean musk wears at its best in spring and summer, with enough warmth from the amber-vanilla base to extend into early autumn.
Occasions
A polished white-floral signature that suits office, date and casual wear; the soft projection lacks the gravity for formal evenings and the floral richness reads too dressed for sport.
