Which Should You Buy?
This 70s powerhouse is a green floral with serious heritage, but be warned: the vintage truly shines. The modern reformulation is a pale ghost of its former self, lacking the depth and longevity that made it a cult classic. Seek out an original bottle for the real experience.
A divisive one, this. Some reckon it's a dark, smoky powerhouse perfect for cool weather, others find it too bitter and lacking in punch. Performance is a real point of contention, so manage your expectations.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
The original vintage's strong sillage makes it less ideal for enclosed office spaces, though it still conveys professionalism. Its complex, elegant character and perceived sophistication, as highlighted by many reviewers, make it perfect for dates, casual outings, and even some informal formal events. It's not a sports scent due to its depth and formal leaning.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent woody and green accords, paired with reports of strong projection (from some), make it less suitable for the office. It's better reserved for evenings and cooler weather, where its depth can truly be appreciated, although consistent performance isn't guaranteed.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Floral, Green, Woody accords and Rose, Jasmine notes
