Which Should You Buy?
Coromandel is a divisive masterpiece: some find it an elegant, clean patchouli with a gourmand twist, while others get a damp, mouldy blast. It's either an addictive, sophisticated experience or a hard pass, often smelling 'dated' or too 'religious' for some.
De Costa Rouge is a solid, crowd-pleasing amber-rose that punches well above its weight. It's a bit of an enigma, a chameleon, but in a good way.
