Which Should You Buy?
A delicate, uplifting floral for quiet moments, Floralista is a spring fling that won't overstay its welcome. Perfect for those who prefer gentle wafts to room-filling statements, though some might find it a bit too fleeting and underwhelming.
Divisive, intriguing, and undeniably luxurious, Matière Noire is a complex beast. Some find its oud too challenging and its rose too mature, while others adore its dark, sensual elegance. Definitely not a blind buy, but a must-try for those daring enough for a darkly sophisticated floral oud.
