Which Should You Buy?
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.
This one's a divisive beast, a proper love-it-or-hate-it chypre floral. Some find it a sophisticated, unique indulgence, while others are put off by its sour, tart opening and prominent mossy dry-down. Definitely try before you buy.
