Which Should You Buy?
A bittersweet symphony of delicious pistachio and almond, this flanker was ahead of its time, sadly discontinued before the pistachio trend exploded. For many, it's a cult classic, for others, an artificial misstep. Try it if you can, but don't expect a crowd-pleaser.
This flanker either dazzles with its electric, tropical sweetness or falls flat, lacking the original's depth. It's a divisive one, beloved by many for its youthful vibrancy but criticised by some for poor longevity and an occasional 'cleaning product' note. Not a blind buy, but worth sampling if you're after a fruitier OPIUM.
