Which Should You Buy?
Prepare for a honey bomb; you'll either love it or want to scrub it off. This divisive Kilian scent is a powerful, sweet beast that demands attention - and perhaps a little patience to appreciate its unique charm. Definitely not a blind buy.
A properly delectable gourmand with a spicy kick, Otello is a love-it-or-hate-it beast. It's potent and rich - not for the faint-hearted but adored by those who crave a distinctive, enveloping scent. Seriously good stuff.
