Which Should You Buy?
Cruz del Sur II is a tropical riot, divisive as hell but utterly captivating for those who get it. It's either a creamy, dreamy mango milkshake or a sour-milky nightmare on skin. Sample it first, because this one's a proper gamble.
This one's a proper head-scratcher; a divisive, love-it-or-hate-it scent that marries playful strawberries with marine oddities. It's a testament to Mugler's boundary-pushing ethos, offering a softer, fruitier spin on the original, yet still packing a unique punch.
