Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper divisive scent; folks either love it for its unique, earthy nuttiness or loathe it for being a patchouli bomb with nary a pistachio in sight. Definitely not a safe blind buy, as it often smells like anything *but* its namesake to many.
A properly delectable gourmand with a spicy kick, Otello is a love-it-or-hate-it beast. It's potent and rich - not for the faint-hearted but adored by those who crave a distinctive, enveloping scent. Seriously good stuff.
