Which Should You Buy?
This green, fresh powerhouse is a divisive blast of invigorating nature. Opinion is split between a clean, zen-like experience and an overpowering, soapy assault. Not for the faint-hearted or those who dislike strong green notes.
A divisive scent, many hail it as a fresher, greener ode to Dior's Pure Poison, while others find it a cheap, dated imitation. Expect elegant, green florals or a blast of 'rotten basil' - your skin chemistry holds the key.
