Which Should You Buy?
Don't let the name fool you - this isn't a smouldering volcano in a bottle. Expect a fresh, clean, surprisingly versatile sandalwood with a zesty kick, though its 'barbershop' vibe might not be for everyone. It's divisive, with some finding it a staple and others deeming it generic.
This musky sandalwood charmer is divisive - some find it sweetly sophisticated and clean; others complain it's too 'French' and reminds them of J'adore without the lasting power. If you like a rich, oriental gourmand feel that works with your skin's chemistry, this is for you.
