Which Should You Buy?
Absolus Allegoria Tabac Sahara is a divisive beast: a love-it-or-hate-it explosion of sweet, smoky tobacco and jammy raspberry. It's not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get' it, absolutely adore its bold, sensual charm.
This one's a proper divisive scent; some reckon it's a nostalgic trip to teenage dreams, oozing sexiness. Others, mind you, dismiss it as sickly sweet, generic, or worse, a bit 'mature' in all the wrong ways. For those who get it, it's a flirty, fruity delight, but don't expect it to last.
