Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect strong opinions - some find it a sublime, dry oud masterpiece, others get hit with a metallic, mothball-like wall that's anything but pleasant. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
This one's a divisive bugger, isn't it? Half of you reckon it's a spot-on Bentley interior, while the other half are left wondering if Demeter accidentally bottled a car wash. If you're after a clean, modern, slightly synthetic leather, you might be in luck. Otherwise, brace yourself for a chemical tang.
