Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously polarising scent - either you'll be swimming in its classy, creamy vanilla-rose embrace and wondering why it's not niche, or you'll be reaching for the nearest shower gel. Either way, it's certainly not 'strictly private' in its impact.
This one's a wildcard. While many rave about its uniqueness and longevity, a vocal few smell nothing but ink. If you're a fan of rich, peppery florals with serious staying power, it's a must-try, but sniff before you sink your cash into it.
