Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, soapy, and unexpectedly gentle for its name, Diabolique is a woody-spicy Oriental that some find comforting and others just can't stand. Expect a clean, powdery iris alongside a warm, balsamic depth.
A well-rounded fragrance blending floral and woody notes for a modern yet classic appeal.
