Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Decosta Noir 20
This one's a bit of a curveball. You'll either get the dark, aromatic vibe with a hint of juicy fruit, or the whole thing will just scream 'a bit off'. Definitely not a blind buy, eh?
Statement
Our Verdict - Q Intense
This one's a mixed bag. Some find it a modern, abstract take on freshness, while others are underwhelmed by its generic sweetness and lack of originality. It definitely needs to be tried on skin, as initial impressions can be rough.
