Which Should You Buy?
This isn't for the faint of heart, it's a divisive beast of a scent that screams 'I'm here' and then some. A powerhouse that some adore as a masterpiece, while others find it overwhelmingly potent and challenging. It’s got an acquired taste, and boy, is it acquired.
This one's a bit of a curveball. If you’re expecting the original Russian Tea, brace yourself for a smoky, woody beast that swaps delicate nuances for a hefty oud punch. It's bold and unique, but certainly not for everyone.
