Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Beast mode performance and a high-end vibe for peanuts, IF you can get past the rough opening and you're well-versed in Middle Eastern rose-oud combos. Otherwise, you might just get a headache.
Seriously underrated and a bit of a hidden gem, Greenwich weaves a complex, evolving narrative. It's a sensuous, sophisticated aromatic spice-fest that proves you don't always need a sillage monster to make an impact, though don't let it be a complete secret.
