Which Should You Buy?
Balkis is a head-turning, divisive powerhouse. You'll either love its bold, vintage floral sweetness or find it completely overwhelming. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but if you want to make an entrance, this is it.
A truly gorgeous powdery floral that divides opinion, but those who love it truly adore it. It's a cashmere sweater in scent form, a more intense and elegant take on the original, perfect for those who appreciate a rich, mature floral with a hint of vanilla.
