Which Should You Buy?
A divisive yet captivating scent, Gdańsk is a rich, boozy amber-leather with a jammy plum heart. It's not for everyone, with some finding it too heavy or familiar, but its fans adore its complex, sophisticated warmth. Definitely test before you commit.
This one's a divisive beast. Some adore its resinous, non-sweet vanilla and leathery depth, while others are left cold by a 'root beer' or 'cough syrup' accord, struggling to find the vanilla or even the leather. Definitely sample this before committing.
