Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive bugger: some adore its sweet, powdery floral oud, calling it elegant and mesmerising. Others reel from a 'toilet smell' or 'synthetic plastic' vibe. Definitely a try-before-you-buy, as it leans hard into strong, powdery florals, leaving oud lovers wanting more depth.
This cinnamon-dusted honey bomb from back in the day is a creamy, spicy hug that delivers serious comfort. It's an old-school stunner that'll have you feeling luxurious and a bit nostalgic, if you can find a good vintage bottle.
