Which Should You Buy?
This Rikyiel scent is divisive; some adore its rich, cognac-like facets, while others find its intensity suffocating and 'old-fashioned.' It's a statement scent, clearly not for those who prefer understated fragrances.
This velvety rose is a divisive one: for some, it's a syrupy, gourmand delight that exudes luxury; for others, it's a harsh, heavy, and even 'sickly' concoction with an unpleasant animalic undercurrent. Test on skin before committing to a bottle.
