Which Should You Buy?
This amber-vanilla powerhouse from Francis Kurkdjian is a cult classic; a love-it-or-hate-it scent with a huge following. Despite its divisive nature, Gaultier 2 earned a reputation as a 'sex in a bottle' compliment-getter for good reason.
A truly gorgeous, boozy amber-vanilla bomb that hits with warm apple pie vibes. It's a confident, rich fragrance that draws compliments, though some find it a bit too sweet or unoriginal. The performance is wildly inconsistent - some say beastly, others a skin scent, so beware of batch variations.
