Which Should You Buy?
This one sparks debate. Some find it a 'seventies drugstore musk' or too masculine, others adore its innovative clean yet sensual berry and musk profile. It's a trailblazer for its time, but don't expect a powerful performance.
This is a seriously hyped tropical powerhouse, delivering a unique guava-forward scent that smells perfect for summer. Most reviews rave about its delicious, juicy fruitiness, but watch out: a vocal minority pick up an unfortunate 'B.O.' or 'sweaty' note on their skin. Sample first, just in case.
