Which Should You Buy?
Black Line by Mancera is a polarising rose and leather combo. While some rave about its smooth, sophisticated blend, others find it shockingly synthetic or reminiscent of a dentist's office. Definitely one to sample before you commit.
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.
