Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive ghost of a perfume. You're either going to get a sophisticated, smoky resin masterpiece, or a very expensive pencil-shaving accord. Proceed with caution and don't blind-buy, even if it's discontinued.
A divisive throwback from the turn of the millennium, this scent is either a nostalgic hit or a dated miss. Expect a bold, spicy embrace that refuses to blend in.
