Which Should You Buy?
This amber-heavy floral is a divisive one. Some find it a captivating, elegant Middle Eastern twist, while others are put off by its perceived maturity and overpowering floral notes. Best reserved for cooler weather and intimate evenings.
This one's a proper divisive scent. Some reckon it's a bubblegum masterpiece, others find it shockingly bad, cloying, or just plain old. You'll either love its sweet, resinous warmth with a citrus zing, or you'll be running for the hills. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
