Which Should You Buy?
A bold rose-saffron-honey combo, Gallivant's Ta'if has stirred up quite the fuss in certain circles. Is it a copy or a clever homage? That's up to you to decide, but don't knock it until you've actually smelled it.
This isn't for the faint of heart. Army of Lovers is a full-throttle, unapologetically bold rose beast, though some find it a bit too much or even bland. It's a statement, not a whisper - and you'll either adore its diva energy or consider it a ‘dirty animal’ you'd rather avoid.
