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 discontinued 90s powerhouse is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a sublime, boozy Christmas pudding of a scent; for others, a harsh, peppery "old lady" fragrance. It's certainly a bold statement, not for the faint of heart, but those who adore it do so with fervent passion.
