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.
This is a decent, affordable everyday fragrance that gets unfairly lumped in with the 'Fierce clones'. It's not a beast, nor trying to be - just a versatile, fresh-spicy scent with a subtle boozy twist that makes it stand out. A genuine hidden gem for the price.
