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 is a divisive sweet treat - you'll either adore its sugary embrace, or find it a bit too much. It's a bold, fruity-floral statement with a powerful projection that demands attention.

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
Occasions
Given its strong sillage and prominent sweet and amber accords, this perfume is best reserved for evening dates or casual outings where its presence can be appreciated without overwhelming a professional environment. Its intensity makes it less suitable for formal events or sports.
