Which Should You Buy?
A powerhouse of pure spice and amber that screams vintage glamour like few others. It's a divisive beast: some find it a sublime, comforting classic, others an overpowering relic. The reformulation saga means hunting down a vintage bottle is often a must for true fans.
This one's a divisive delight. While some find its ylang-ylang and amber blend heavenly, others detect an artificial, almost 'Play-Doh' note. If you're after a warm, sensual amber with a creamy vanilla hug, and don't mind a bit of a gamble, this hidden gem might just be your next obsession.
