Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Venenum Kiss
Venenum Kiss is a divisive one, blending syrupy rose and saffron with a unique dirty, spicy undertone. Some find it opulent and luxurious, while others dismiss it as a 'mainstream grandma smell.' Definitely not a safe blind buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Oriental Lounge
This 'modern oriental' is divisive; some love its smooth, unique spice and comforting amber whilst others find it 'thin' or too powdery. If you appreciate a more subtle take on the genre, this could be your surprisingly elegant secret weapon.
