Which Should You Buy?
This one is a real head-turner, divisive but magnetic. Love it or hate it, Ishq commands attention with its potent blend of fruit and spice, often drawing comparisons to BR540 but with its own unique, powdery, fruity punch.
A reasonably faithful dupe of Marc Jacobs Decadence, keeping the plum-saffron-rose signature but with a lighter, less syrupy amber base than the boozy, leather-tinged original.
