Which Should You Buy?
Sarrasins isn't just a jasmine; it's a divisive, dark floral masterpiece. You'll either swoon at its 'howling velvet' indoles and animalic depth or recoil from what some call 'stable boy' musk and 'poo smell'. This is art, and like all true art, it's not for everyone.
Apollonia is a deeply divisive scent. Some find it a 'cold,' 'lunar' masterpiece - soft, graceful, and pure. Others are put off by a 'sharp acetone' opening or find it 'boring,' 'dated,' or simply 'blah.' Its 'intimate' sillage is often noted, with some finding it 'overpriced for what it offers.'

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and powerful, unconventional floral and musky accords, Sarrasins is far too bold for the office or casual daytime wear. It truly shines for date nights and formal evening events, where its mysterious and sensual character can make a lasting impression.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its intimate sillage and clean, subtle nature make it highly suitable for office wear without being intrusive. However, some find it "boring," which could limit its appeal for dates or formal events where a more impactful scent might be desired. The powdery, non-energetic profile makes it less ideal for sport.
