Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously polarising scent: some call it a masterpiece, others an 'old-fashioned' mess. It's a grand, rich oriental that leans into vintage glamour, so you'll either adore its dense complexity or find it heavy and dated. Definitely not a blind buy.
This one is a hidden gem for rose lovers. A deliciously unique, slightly smoky floral-musk that's surprisingly versatile and gets a nod from everyone.
