Which Should You Buy?
Sable Fauve is a proper head-scratcher of a fragrance. For some, it's a stellar, budget-friendly dupe for Black Opium or even Grand Soir. For others, it's a weak, fleeting whiff of a scent that barely registers. This one's divisive, so don't blind buy.
This one's a divisive beast, eliciting both adoration and outright repulsion. If you're after a budget-friendly alternative to a certain iconic tobacco-vanilla, you might just find your new obsession, but be warned, some find it utterly sickening.
