Which Should You Buy?
Phantasma is a divisive one, blending traditional tea and rice notes with an unexpected sour, almost synthetic edge. You'll either find it a unique, minimalist gem or a confusing, rubbery mess. Not for everyone, so sample first.
A fresh, clean take on green, Molinard's Bambou is a lovely option for those who want a natural-smelling scent with a distinctive, effervescent kick. Performance is a bit of a letdown for some, but its versatility and easy-going nature make it a solid choice.
