Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Passion Dance Eau de Parfum

Passion Dance is truly divisive. Some rave about its unique dark rose and woody facets, praising it as a hidden gem that smells far more expensive than it is. Others find it harsh and suffocating, equating it to 'moldy grapefruit' or even a 'graveyard' smell. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Statement

Our Verdict - Gris Montaigne Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper masterpiece, oozing understated elegance and sophistication. A truly divisive scent, loved by many for its unique blend of woody florals and hated by a few who find it too harsh or reminiscent of unexpected things. It's a real shame it's discontinued, but if you can find it, you're in for a treat.
