Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued gem divides opinion yet commands cult status for its unique, multi-layered complexity. Antidote is either an intoxicating masterpiece or an unwearable scrubber, but rarely anything in between. Track it down for a sniff, if you dare.
Portinari is a well-blended, inoffensive everyday scent, though its performance frustrates many. If you're after a subtle, slightly sweet aromatic, and don't mind a skin scent, it's a decent shout. Otherwise, you might find it a bit underwhelming.
