Which Should You Buy?
This legendary scent is divisive, adored by those who appreciate its complex, 'old-world' charm, but scorned by others as dated or even sickly. Definitely not a blind buy, but if it clicks, expect a sophisticated and unique experience.
A budget take on Frederic Malle's revered Le Parfum de Therese - the same ripe melon and tangerine opening over a plum-rose heart and a leathery vetiver-cedar base. Spanish Scent captures the fruity-chypre idea but reads simpler and flatter, missing the haunting depth and unusual ripe-melon nuance of Roudnitska's masterpiece.
