Which Should You Buy?
Kumkat Wood is a divisive one, a chameleon that shifts from a 'masterpiece' to 'grandma smelling' depending on who you ask. It's a citrus-wood punch with surprising elegance that either sings on skin or falls completely flat.
This Jovoy release is sending out mixed signals, making it a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde. Some reckon it's a stellar, grown-up citrus for summer, while others are left scratching their heads, calling it generic or even a bit nasty. Definitely one to try before you buy, if you want to avoid a shocker.
