Which Should You Buy?
This is a truly polarising beast. Après l'Amour either blooms into a beautiful, potent aura of spiced musk and citrus or devolves into something synthetic and unwearable. Sample before committing, because if it loves you back, it will last forever.
This one's a divisive beast, a true love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a rich, spicy journey that's definitely not for everyone - the cumin note particularly polarises opinion, smelling like exotic spices to some and body odour to others. Definitely sample before committing.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its nuclear performance and intense sillage make it a questionable choice for the office, where subtlety often wins. However, its bold and sensual character makes it ideal for dates and evening events. For casual wear, a very light hand is needed to avoid overwhelming others.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
This perfume is best suited for cooler weather and evening wear, thanks to its bold spicy and woody accords. While too strong for many office environments and completely unsuitable for sport, its sophisticated character makes it a strong contender for dates and formal occasions, despite some reports of middling longevity.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Warm Spicy, Amber, Woody accords and Spicy notes
