Which Should You Buy?
Cuir Béluga is a smooth, sophisticated vanilla suede that's garnered a devoted following. While some find its aldehydes a touch vintage or even "play-doh" like, the majority praise its elegant comfort. It's not a loud scent, but its quiet luxury is utterly captivating.
This one's a divisive beast. Some adore its creamy, spicy depth, finding it alluring and unique. Others are put off by a 'play-doh' or 'old lady' vibe, with some finding the patchouli overwhelming. Definitely sample first, it's not a safe blind buy.
