Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Guidance
Guidance is a serious love-it-or-hate-it affair, a beast-mode scent that demands attention. Prepare for effusive compliments or utter revulsion - this isn't for the faint-hearted.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Bombay Bling!
Bombay Bling! is a divisive tropical fruit explosion. Some find it a joyous, complex escape, while others are put off by its sweetness and perceive it as generic or cloying. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but a potential love for those seeking an exotic, juicy thrill.
