Which Should You Buy?
This raspberry and almond powder-puff caused a stir and its discontinuation led to wailing and gnashing of teeth. It's a sweet, playful scent that's loved for its unique, comforting softness, though some find it a bit too sweet or powdery for their taste.
A divisive fruitchouli that splits opinion: some hail it as an elegant, grown-up take on Miss Dior Cherie, while others find it too bitter, syrupy and forgettable. Its striking jewel-like bottle promises more than the juice delivers for some.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and sweet, comforting blend make it great for casual outings and dates, receiving many compliments. While versatile, its sweetness and projection might be too much for a formal setting or close office environments, and it's certainly not suited for sport.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Oriens has moderate to strong sillage and good longevity, making it a bit much for the office unless applied sparingly. Its sweet and warm facets with a 'grown up' feel are perfect for dates and formal events, though some find it lacks uniqueness for those settings. It's a bit too refined for casual wear and definitely not suited for sport.
