Which Should You Buy?
Cinque Terre by Mancera is a strong contender for your summer scent, but divisive in the dry down. It's a fresh, salty, woody aquatic that many adore for its beast-mode performance, yet some find it cloying and overtly synthetic. Try before you buy, especially if you're sensitive to potent bases.
Nuit Etoilee is a divisive one. Many find this take on a winter forest magical, fresh and tranquil; others get something closer to minty citrus cleaner or toothpaste. Definitely don't blind buy.
