Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive beast. Some adore its creamy, spicy depth, finding it alluring and unique. Others are put off by a 'play-doh' or 'old lady' vibe, with some finding the patchouli overwhelming. Definitely sample first, it's not a safe blind buy.
This one is as divisive as its namesake notes. Some will love this sweet, nutty gourmand with its subtle liquorice twist, finding it a cozy and comforting embrace. Others will find the sweetness overwhelming or the liquorice note off-putting, leading to a strong pass.
