Which Should You Buy?
Mancera's Deep Forest is notoriously divisive. Many find the opening challenging, with some labelling it 'pret-a-port-a-potty' or cleaning products. But for those who persevere, an enchanting, complex floral-woody drydown awaits, celebrated for its unique character and monstrous performance, blurring gender lines.
Afnan's Abstract is a truly unique, sophisticated beast, delivering niche quality at an unbeatable price. It's wildly divisive whether it's an Encelade clone, but everyone agrees it's a deep, rich cherry-rhubarb triumph. Prepare to be complimented and feel utterly mysterious.
