Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive woody vanilla, with some finding it a heavenly, unique skin scent, while others struggle with synthetic notes or a challenging opening. Give it a good wear-test before you splash out - it's a journey, not a destination.
This one's a proper divisive scent; you'll either get an intriguing, smoky wood or a sharpie-and-plastic mess. Definitely sample first, as it's not a safe blind buy by any stretch.
