Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper marmite fragrance - you'll either love it or hate it, there's no in-between. A real beast of a scent, delivering an unapologetic punch of synthetic sweet fruit that demands attention. Definitely not for the faint of heart or those seeking subtlety.
New York 5th Avenue is a refined fragrance with a balanced blend of spices and wood, perfect for all seasons.
