Which Should You Buy?
Marfa is a creamy, sweet tuberose powerhouse that splits opinion. You'll either adore its rich, white floral swagger or find it a bit too much, even headache-inducing. It’s certainly got staying power for those who fall for its captivating charm.
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some swear it's a luscious white floral, others are utterly repulsed by a 'wet cigarette' note. It's a journey, apparently- you'll either love how it macerates into a creamy dream, or chuck it in the bin after a few months. Definitely not a safe blind buy, as it polarises opinions like nothing else.
