Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive beast. Many find it an 'intensive' experience: a bold, unapologetic take on rose-oud that's both lauded for its power and loathed for its 'soapy' or 'hair spray' notes. Proceed with caution, and definitely sample first.
This is a bold, divisive scent - a proper 'love it or hate it' affair. When it works, it's a phenomenal spicy oud with a fruity twist. If it doesn't, expect rubbery, cloying chaos.
