Which Should You Buy?
Cabotine is a force of nature, a bold floral explosion that absolutely polarises opinion. Some love its vintage charm and potent sillage, others recoil from its 'old-fashioned' punch. It’s cheap 'n' cheerful, but divisive; you'll either adore its green, sweet power, or scrub it off in horror.
Madurai is a genuinely divisive scent. For some, it's a 'travel in a bottle' jasmine dream, fresh and intoxicating. For others, it's a synthetic peach mess with a screechy, even unpleasant dry-down. Definitely try before you buy.
