Which Should You Buy?
This is a clean, comforting floral-woody scent, with a divisive vanilla note that some love and others can't detect. It's an easy reach for many, but others find it too subtle or even synthetic.
A truly divisive flanker that left the community questioning its very existence. Half swear it's a rose-tinged improvement on the original, the other half call it nothing more than a new ribbon on the same old bottle. Try it yourself if you dare, but be warned, you might just be smelling the power of suggestion.
