Which Should You Buy?
A modern take on woody spice that's a bit of a divisive one; some find it a sophisticated, subtle masterpiece, others dismiss it as fleeting and smelling of 'leaky ballpoint pens'. If you're after a subtle, contemporary scent, it's worth a shot, but don't expect it to last.
Herb Cocktail targets Dior's Spice Blend - the bold collision of fresh and warm spices over dry woods. The dupe captures the ginger-pepper-clove punch but renders it flatter and drier, dropping the boozy rum twist and trimming the woody base so it sits closer to the skin than the polished original.
