Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, darling. Some call it an affordable, sexy tropical chypre akin to Gucci Rush, while others wish they could return their 'rotting fruit' bottle. Apparently, the original is a sought-after gem, but good luck finding one that hasn't turned.
This tropical gourmand is a divisive beast. While many adore its fruity sweetness and vacation vibes, a significant number find it too synthetic or just plain odd, with a surprising knack for morphing into other, less desirable scents. Definitely one to try before you buy.
