Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Chocolate Greedy EDP
This one sparks strong opinions. For some, it's a photorealistic hit of chocolate orange, a warm embrace in a bottle. For others, it's a rancid, synthetic mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if the stars align, you'll be smelling like a delicious baked good.
Acquired
Our Verdict - 263 Montale Chocolate Greedy EDP
Keeps Chocolate Greedy's cacao-vanilla-tonka gourmand core, but restructures the pyramid, moving vanilla and tonka forward and adding dried fruit and bitter orange where the original has praline, musk and a simple citrus lift.
