Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Sandal Ruby
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.

Our Verdict - Celestial Patchouli
Celestial Patchouli is for card-carrying patchouli fans only. This isn't your grandma's patchouli- it's a bold, earthy, woody beast with a spicy kick that can be divisive but ultimately captivates. Expect intense warmth and a slightly dirty charm.
