Which Should You Buy?
This is a divisive one. Many hail Centaurus as a beast-mode, luxurious tobacco-vanilla, while others dismiss it as an overpriced holiday candle, lacking originality and far too sweet. Creed die-hards might find it a departure, but it's clearly a crowd-pleasing warm spicy amber that makes a statement.
Divisive yet undeniably compelling, Black Jade is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a classy, sensual journey through time; for others, it's an 'old-fashioned' headache. If you're after a warm, spiced rose with a vintage edge, it’s worth a sniff, but sample first.
