Which Should You Buy?
A potent, unique yellow floral that blends sparkling soapiness with mature spice. It's a banger that makes a statement, though some might find its complexity a bit much.
This one's a proper dark horse, deeply polarising but adored by its fans. A complex, shadowy amber with lashings of spice and a powdery, inky undertone that's definitely not for everyone. Blind buy at your peril, but if it clicks, you'll be hooked.
