ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This one's a crowd-pleasing, 'rich auntie' white floral that manages to be both safe and sophisticated. Don't listen to the 'it's just like Black Opium' brigade - it's far more refined, though its divisive performance means sampling is essential.
This one is a divisive mistress. Some rave about its sweet, creamy complexity, likening it to high-end gourmands, while others trash it as cheap and cloying. Approach with caution, as it clearly isn't for everyone.
