Which Should You Buy?
This one's a bit of a gamble, mind. If you're after a lush, sweet fruit cocktail with an earthy edge, it could be your jackpot. But if patchouli rubs you up the wrong way, you might find yourself heartbroken.
Karat by Maison Alhambra is a divisive fruity musk with a huge following. Some rave about its fresh, bright fruitiness and impressive performance after maceration, while others find it fleeting or too close to existing popular scents. It's a risk, but the payoff for some is huge.
