Which Should You Buy?
A divisive take on the original Elle, this 'Intense' flanker is all about rich, dark berries and a hefty dose of patchouli. Some find it a bold, sexy statement, while others are underwhelmed by its projection and longevity, or find the patchouli too aggressive. Definitely try before you buy, especially if you're sensitive to strong patchouli notes.
This one's a divisive beast. Some adore its deep, juicy peach and impressive performance, calling it a top-tier stunner. Others smell celery, masculine antiperspirant, or simply no peach at all. You'll either love it or hate it, so sample first.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
The strong, 'intense' nature of the patchouli and amber, alongside its 'sexy' and 'nighttime' associations in reviews, make it less suitable for office or casual daytime wear. It shines brightest for dates and formal evening events, where its bold character can make a statement without overwhelming.
Seasons
A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.
Occasions
Given its 'beast mode' performance and strong sillage, this fragrance is far too loud for the office. It's best suited for dates and autumn/winter evenings, where its warm, dark fruitiness can shine without overwhelming those around you.
