Which Should You Buy?
Messe de Minuit is a deeply divisive, gothic cathedral of a scent that some adore for its authentic, reverent incense and others recoil from as musty and unsettling. You'll either get Christmas Mass in a bottle or a dusty, damp old church that's seen far better days.
Don't let the name Bianco Puro fool you; this is a seriously deep and complex fragrance. It's a surprisingly well-loved, luxurious oud-vanilla bomb that people rave about, despite its misleadingly fresh-sounding name. A standout from Terenzi that deserves far more attention than it gets.
