Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper divisive holiday romance. Some reckon it's a unique, fresh tropical dream, while others find the rosemary and tropical notes a jarring, cloying mismatch. Definitely one to try before you buy a full bottle - if it ever gets one.
No. 43 borrows Kayali Maldives In A Bottle Ylang Coco's lemon-ylang-coconut vacation formula, landing the tropical opening well but flattening the creamy ylang-banana heart and losing the original's silkier coconut-sandalwood finish to a simpler, shorter-lived sweetness.
