Which Should You Buy?
A truly underrated gem, 5th Avenue Royale punches well above its weight class. It's a dark, rich, and sophisticated experience at a bargain price, although its divisive patchouli and variable longevity means it's not for everyone.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a rich, dark patchouli with smoky frankincense and a surprising sprinkle of fruit. It's unique, but definitely divides opinion - so sample before you splurge.
