Which Should You Buy?
This one is a divisive, boozy cherry. Some reckon it's a masterpiece of refined fruit, others smell glorified air freshener or cough syrup. Don't blind buy; you'll either love it or furiously scrub it off.
Compiled from retailer sources: pomegranate, persimmon and green notes open into a lotus-champaca-black-orchid heart, resting on amber, black violet, creamy notes and mahogany - an exotic, fruity-floral women's composition.
