Which Should You Buy?
A legendary, polarising beast for those who dare, Habanita delivers a heavy hit of dark, powdery florals. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but those who love it, really love it. Just beware of reformulations - true fans seek out the older batches.
This one's a proper bargain-bin gem, resurrecting classic '80s fougères with a woody, fresh twist. It brings a clean, piney punch that's surprisingly versatile for its price point.
