Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, polarizing opinions like a marmite sandwich. Those who love it revel in its beast-mode plum and rose, while detractors recoil from its synthetic, metallic edge. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit.
A love-it-or-hate-it scent for the true 'perfumista', this one divides opinion with its strong personality. It's a complex, evolving chypre that's been lauded as a masterpiece by some and dismissed as 'old lady vibes' by others. Get it while it's still available.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
