Which Should You Buy?
This flanker of the iconic Habanita is a captivating shape-shifter. It's a powdery, musky embrace with a lemony kick that's earned itself a devoted following, though some find it a touch too 'baby powder gone wild'.
This one's a proper grower. You'll either get straight-up baby powder and vintage aftershave vibes, or you'll find a sublimely blended, modern oriental that's unexpectedly sensual. Ignore the name; the scent speaks for itself.
