Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - In the City of Sin EDP
This one is a real head-scratcher and a classic case of 'your mileage may vary'. It's either an enchanting spicy fruit dream or a cloying, awkward mess. Best to try before you buy, unless you enjoy fragrant Russian roulette.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Santal Pear 梨子檀香 EDT
A divisive blend that promises a unique fruity-woody journey, but one that some find muddled. It’s certainly an interesting ride, love it or simply find it 'a bit much'.
