Which Should You Buy?
Imari is pure 80s nostalgia in a bottle, and opinions are firmly split. Some adore its classic, sophisticated warmth, others find it too 'grandma' or challenging with its aldehydic punch. This one's definitely a love-it-or-hate-it affair.
This one's a proper grown-up scent, giving off serious boss energy. Not for the faint-hearted, it's a bold chypre that knows what it wants. Definitely one to spray lightly, as it can be quite potent.
