Which Should You Buy?
A legendary, polarising beast for those who dare, Habanita delivers a heavy hit of dark, powdery florals. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but those who love it, really love it. Just beware of reformulations - true fans seek out the older batches.
A modern classic that’s undeniably elegant. Gibeon takes a deep dive into powdery rose and orris, striking a luxurious balance that evokes nostalgia without ever feeling 'old'. It’s a beautifully blended, smooth operator, though some find it a bit too vintage for their taste.
