Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued gem is a true love-it-or-hate-it affair. For those who adore it, Idole d'Armani is a sophisticated, unique, and long-lasting scent that embodies confidence. For others, it's too spicy, too strong, and even a bit 'old-fashioned.'
Malia is a divisive, quirky scent - some find it an intoxicating, witchy brew, others a 'scrubber' of medicinal, burnt notes. It's unique, bold, and definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit to this one.
