Which Should You Buy?
More like 'Mildly Tempting Games'. This one's a divisive mix: some get juicy, honey-drizzled fruit perfection, others a cloying, dated floral with serious shampoo vibes. Definitely not a blind buy.
A honeyed floral-gourmand dupe of By Kilian Forbidden Games. The stone-fruit opening and rose heart are faithful; the honey-opoponax base is softer than Kilian's niche original.
