Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, with a challenging oud opening that either resolves into a golden amber dream or stays an 'offensive rat in decomposition'. Not for the faint-hearted, but worth it if you can ride out the initial blast.
This one's a proper throwback. If you're into those bold, classic power florals of the 70s and 80s, you're in for a treat. But be warned, it's a 'love it or leave it' situation; some find it a bit too much, like a fabric softener explosion.
