Which Should You Buy?
This one is a real Jekyll and Hyde, opening with a potent, sometimes 'rancid' or 'chemical' booziness that's a true love-it-or-hate-it. But the patient are rewarded, as 'maceration' transforms it into a smoother, sweeter apple rum delight. A divisive scent, but for many, a rewarding cheap thrill once it settles.
V on the Rocks is a well-balanced unisex fragrance that offers a refreshing aromatic experience, suitable for almost any occasion.
