Which Should You Buy?
This one's a true crowd-pleaser for gourmand lovers, though some find it a bit too sweet and lacking in depth. It's a comforting blend of caramel and fruit that many adore, even if it might not be everyone's cup of tea.
No. 143 goes straight for Viktor & Rolf Bonbon's caramel-and-peach signature and gets the sugary opening close, but the tonka base is thinner than the original's rich praline drydown, so the sweetness fades faster and flatter.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and generally pleasant, inoffensive sweetness make it suitable for office wear, but it truly shines on a date due to its alluring gourmand character. It's too sweet for formal events and actively unsuitable for sport.
Seasons
A sugary caramel gourmand that feels most comforting in cooler months, while the sweetness can feel cloying in summer heat.
Occasions
Playful and sweet rather than sophisticated, it suits casual wear and relaxed dates far better than office or formal settings.
