Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vengeance Extreme EDP
Divisive, dramatic, and definitely not for the faint of heart. This isn't your everyday rose, but a dark, earthy, powerhouse patchouli bomb that demands respect and commands attention. You'll either love its intense, gothic allure or find it utterly overwhelming.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Intense Retribution For Women EDP
A budget echo of Juliette Has A Gun's Vengeance Extreme, Intense Retribution turns up the patchouli-and-rose volume over a sweet amber base. It nails the dark, sexy boss-woman mood but the raw, dirty patchouli edge is cleaned up and the projection sits softer than the original.
