Which Should You Buy?
This caramel-nutty gourmand from Bond No. 9 is a sweet, cosy embrace that polarises opinion. Many love its warm depth, but a vocal minority find it surprisingly harsh and even nauseating. It's often compared to BR540 but with a more pronounced gourmand twist - some say a better twist.
This is a divisive one. While some find it an elegant, creamy floral, others are put off by a 'baby-wipes' opening and a surprisingly gourmand drydown that takes some getting used to. Give it time to unfold; it might just surprise you.
