Invasion Barbare Eau de Parfum vs DesirToxic Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A divisive barbershop, this one. Some swear it's a genre-defining masterpiece, a modern fougere elevated to art. Others find it an overpriced, medicinal mess with too much vanilla. One thing's for sure: it's anything but boring. Sample before you commit to the hefty price tag.
This one's a proper polariser; a love-it-or-hate-it spicy aromatic with a divisive cannabis kick. Some call it an absolute masterpiece, others a cloying, dated mess. You'll either love its sexy, addictive pull or find yourself scrubbing it off with a vengeance.
