Which Should You Buy?
This cult classic is pure liquid gold - stunningly rich, resinous, and deeply warm. The amber and myrrh shine through, making it feel like a cherished secret. If you can still get your hands on it, don't hesitate; this is a truly majestic and much-missed masterpiece.
This one is a total love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect strong opinions - good and bad - with many finding it truly unique. It's a powerhouse, a bold niche-style scent with beastly performance, but definitely not for the faint of heart or a safe blind buy.
