Which Should You Buy?
Divisive yet adored, Joop! Le Bain is a comforting hug of vanilla and amber that often surprises with its unique almond or cherry-tobacco nuances. You'll either get cosy sophistication or a 'what the hell is that?' moment, so try before you buy.
This budget-friendly Armaf offering is pretty but divisive. Some found it a lovely floral citrus for summer, while others felt it was 'screechy' and headache-inducing. It's a bit of a gamble, but if you get a good batch, it's a steal.
