Which Should You Buy?
This one is a real Marmite, love-it-or-hate-it contender, though most people lean towards 'love'. It promises a fruity floral but often delivers an unapologetic musk-patchouli punch. If you're a fan of beast-mode fragrances with a grown-up fruity twist, this is a must-try. Don't blind buy unless you live for musk.
This one sparks debate. Jimmy Choo Exotic is a fruity-patchouli perfume, a bit of a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Some find it a delicious, juicy update on the original, while others are put off by a perceived synthetic sweetness and an overpowering raspberry-patchouli combo.
