Which Should You Buy?
This isn't a scent that screams for attention, but it's an understated charmer. It's a surprisingly versatile woody-amber offering from the Brazilian house Natura, best reserved for cooler nights.
This one's a divisive, dark amber. Some reckon it's a mysterious, sensual masterpiece with temple vibes, while others find it a cloying, dated mess. Definitely one to try before you commit, as it pushes strong opinions.
