Which Should You Buy?
This 80s icon is a nutmeg-heavy, spicy-woody charmer, though reformulations mean its once legendary performance is now a shadow of its former self. Still, for those who appreciate a classic, it's a nostalgic trip that mostly holds up.
A divisive old-school charmer that's truly a tale of two fragrances: the revered original and the often-maligned reformulation. If you snag a vintage bottle, prepare for a sophisticated blend of boozy rose and rich woods; otherwise, brace yourself for potential disappointment.
