Which Should You Buy?
This cult classic from Avon is a divisive beast: some hail it as a unique, woody-herbal masterpiece, while others can't get past initial sharpness or find it fleeting. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but those who love it, really love it.
A divisive amber powerhouse. Some find it overwhelmingly strong and 'meh', while others are mesmerised by its unique green, herbal freshness. Definitely not for the shy; this one makes a statement, for better or worse.

Occasions
This is a beast mode fragrance with impressive sillage, making it too powerful for an office setting. However, its strong, bold character makes it suitable for formal events or a confident date night. It's too heavy for casual daytime wear or anything physical.
