Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it affair. While some adore its potent, creamy florals and sensual depth, others find it shockingly synthetic or reminiscent of 'play-doh'. Definitely not a blind buy.
This one is a divisive delight. A bold, luxurious orange blossom with an incensy, smoky depth that polarises; some find it a suffocating beast, others a unique Arabian-French blend. It's an acquired taste, but those who love it, really love it.
