Which Should You Buy?
A divisive yet treasured classic, Ispahan evokes a bold, mysterious allure. Many find it "sexy" and "sensual", though some deem it too heavy or "old" for modern tastes. If you seek a statement scent, this enchanting oriental is worth seeking out.
This one's a divisive cheapie, giving some big-time boozy vanilla and others a spicy, smoky mess. Prepare for an intriguing ride on different skin chemistries. When it works, it's an absolute steal; when it doesn't, well, you've been warned.
