Which Should You Buy?
This is a bold, uncompromising patchouli, dark chocolate bomb that isn't for the faint of heart. Seriously polarizing, it's either an addictive, earthy masterpiece or a chaotic mess of medicinal spice and dirt. Sample first, definitely.
This Elixir is a proper Marmite scent - you'll either love its intensely spicy, earthy warmth or absolutely despise it. Expect strong performance and an unapologetically bold character that doesn't care for subtlety, making it a truly divisive wear.
