Which Should You Buy?
A powerhouse of pure spice and amber that screams vintage glamour like few others. It's a divisive beast: some find it a sublime, comforting classic, others an overpowering relic. The reformulation saga means hunting down a vintage bottle is often a must for true fans.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, and frankly, we're not surprised. It’s got beastly performance matched only by its eye-watering price, so sample before you commit to smelling like a luxury spice explosion, or an Indian takeaway, depending on who you ask.
