Which Should You Buy?
Maja (modern) is a subtle, spicy floral that's sadly a shadow of its vintage self. While the current formulation offers a pleasant, soft warmth, it's widely regarded as a pale imitation of the original's rich, complex allure. Expect a gentle whispers rather than a dramatic statement.
Divisive, absolutely. This one's either a vibrant, sparkling rose-aldehyde dream or a full-on grandma scent - there's really no in-between. Don't blind buy, trust me.

Seasons
An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.
Occasions
Its generally soft sillage and moderate longevity make it suitable for casual wear or an office setting where subtlety is key. The warm spicy and floral accords might be too comforting for strenuous sport, and its understated nature might get lost in a loud formal environment.
Seasons
Occasions
Its bold projection and classic, opulent character make it less suitable for a modern office or casual wear. Best reserved for formal events or a special night out where its rich accords can truly shine without overwhelming.
