Which Should You Buy?
Sissa offers a harmonious balance between warmth and mystery, perfect for transitioning seasons and cooler climates.
A budget take on Mind Games Sissa. The toasted-sesame-and-coumarin opening melting into warm milk, tonka and vanilla captures the original's cosy fresh-bread gourmand; this dupe loses some of Sissa's extrait richness and the labdanum depth, wearing softer and shorter.
