Which Should You Buy?
A legendary, much-missed 90s powerhouse, Venezia is a complex, opulent fruity-amber scent that inspires fierce loyalty and nostalgia. Modern reformulations might miss the mark, but the vintage original is a rare and beloved masterpiece.
Seriously underrated in the wider world, Bleu Lazuli is a masterpiece for those in the know. It's a smooth, luxurious shapeshifter that blends spicy, sweet, and comforting accords into a truly addictive and unique experience, though some find it a touch too sweet or subtle.
