Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, overpriced, and often misunderstood. Clive Christian No. 1 is either a pioneering masterpiece of refined florals and woods, or a dated, powdery soap bar - there's no middle ground. Its luxury is undeniable, but so is its controversial opening.
This one's a wildcard. If you're after a beastmode cheapie that blends modern sweetness with a touch of classic Fougere, you might just find your new signature. But be warned, some find it a synthetic mess - definitely not for the faint of heart.
