Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper throwback. If you're into those bold, classic power florals of the 70s and 80s, you're in for a treat. But be warned, it's a 'love it or leave it' situation; some find it a bit too much, like a fabric softener explosion.
This one's a bit of a head-turner - a bold and sensual oriental that's garnered a seriously passionate following, despite some finding its earthy, woody drydown a tad too masculine. You'll either adore its mysterious depths or find it needs a little softening.
