Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued gem is divisive from the outset; some find it a cosy, spicy 'happiness in a bottle', while others are met with an 'overburnt vanilla' or a 'sickly' orange peel. If you can get your hands on a bottle, it seems like a must-try for oriental fans.
Sandal Ruby is a controversial beast: some find it a sublime, spicy-floral-woody dream, while others recoil from its synthetic harshness. It is definitely not a safe blind buy, but if it works for you, prepare to be addicted to its bold, unapologetic character.
