Which Should You Buy?
A truly divisive scent, Parisienne is either a chic, playful rush of berry and vinyl or a headache-inducing synthetic mess. Love it or hate it, YSL's gamble on a "plasticky" rose scent certainly sparked debate.
Bella Belara is a divisive little number. For some, it's a 'Bellini in a bottle' and a sweet, juicy dream. For others, it's a 'sickening sweet' floral that lacks the fruitiness promised. Test before you commit, darling.

Occasions
Its moderate sillage and sweet, flirty character make it suitable for dates and casual wear. While some find it office-appropriate due to its mild projection, the unique vinyl note can be polarising, making it a risk for formal settings.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its sweet and fruity nature makes it excellent for casual wear or dates, evoking a 'flirty' vibe commented on by many. Some find it strong, which might make it less suitable for a confined office environment, but others claim it's perfectly workplace appropriate.
