Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Datura
This is a serious love-it-or-hate-it scent; definitely not a safe blind buy. For those who get it, Black Datura is a dark, intoxicating white floral that casts a bewitching spell. For others, it's a scrubber. Try before you commit.

Our Verdict - Cross of Asia
This is a gorgeous, classy white and yellow floral, providing it aligns with your skin's chemistry. Some find it a bit sharp or even "pissy" on their skin, but for many, it's a balanced, luxurious experience.
