Which Should You Buy?
Madurai is a genuinely divisive scent. For some, it's a 'travel in a bottle' jasmine dream, fresh and intoxicating. For others, it's a synthetic peach mess with a screechy, even unpleasant dry-down. Definitely try before you buy.
This early 2000s floral fruity offers a unique peppery kick that sets it apart. While some find it a joyous, uplifting wear, others are put off by its surprising masculinity and strength. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, Bazar is a quirky, confident standout.
