Which Should You Buy?
Ivory Route is a complex, enigmatic Xerjoff that some reviewers adore for its smooth blend of spices, woods, and unexpected sweetness, while others find it too masculine, medicinal, or simply not their cup of tea. Definitely sample before you buy.
Sables is a divisive but iconic amber spicy fragrance from Goutal. Expect an extremely potent hit of immortelle, often described as maple syrup, curry, or even pickles, that you'll either adore or recoil from.
