Which Should You Buy?
A truly evocative, woody experience that's both challenging and captivating. It's a proper grown-up scent, best suited for those who appreciate a journey into the deeper, greener side of perfumery, though some might find its potency a bit much.
This is a bold, divisive scent that's far from a crowd-pleaser. Some find it a masterpiece of dark luxury with incredible performance; others dismiss it as an ashtray or complain about its supposed fleeting nature. Definitely try before you buy, as impressions vary wildly.
