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.
This is a milky, creamy vanilla and sandalwood scent. Often compared to Zadig & Voltaire's This Is Her, but with softer projection and shorter longevity. It's an easy-wearing, cozy skin scent for those who prefer their fragrances subtle.
