Which Should You Buy?
A truly gorgeous tonka-vanilla bomb with impressive staying power that's garnered a passionate following among gourmand lovers, though a few find it a bit too sweet and linear, or even pick up an unfortunate 'play-doh' note. Utterly addictive to most.
This is a serious, opulent gourmand for those who appreciate a rich, complex scent. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with some finding it perfectly balanced and others put off by a persistent 'urinal cake' incense note up close. Definitely sample before committing.

Occasions
