Which Should You Buy?
This one's a chameleon - a polarizing iris at first, but give it time, and you'll uncover a sophisticated, clean, and unexpectedly cozy fragrance that smells like quiet luxury. Just be ready for the ride, as some find the opening off-putting.
Divisive, soapy, and unexpectedly gentle for its name, Diabolique is a woody-spicy Oriental that some find comforting and others just can't stand. Expect a clean, powdery iris alongside a warm, balsamic depth.
