Which Should You Buy?
This one is as divisive as they come - you'll either adore its warm, buttery caramel popcorn vibe or find it utterly repulsive. Not for the faint of heart, it's a bold gourmand that demands a test drive before committing.
Velvet is a divisive, smoky rose fragrance. Fans adore its dark, romantic complexity, often comparing it favourably to By the Fireplace, but others find it cloying, metallic, or simply 'burnt wood'. Definitely test before you commit.
