Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper divisive scent; some rave about its airy, clean magnolia, others slag it off as a synthetic flop. It's got that Quentin Bisch signature, apparently, so if you're into 'Fleur Narcotique' vibes but want something a bit lighter and muskier, this might be your jam.
This floral woody musk is a divisive affair. Some find it a beautifully balanced, romantic rose. Others complain it's too spicy, too woody, and just a bit odd, with some even smelling 'coke' or a 'chemical-woody composition'. It's certainly no safe blind buy.
