Our Verdict - Carios Extrait
Carios is a deeply divisive release. While some find its fresh, sweet, and spicy profile intoxicating and groundbreaking, others condemn it as overpriced, unoriginal, and even 'revolting'. The consensus is that it's a 'love it or hate it' from PdM, though its exorbitant price tag often tips the scales towards exasperation.
