Which Should You Buy?
A legendary green floral from the 70s, Private Collection is a divisive scent: you'll either love its crisp, retro elegance and confident swagger, or find it a bit too sharp and 'vintage'. It’s an acquired taste for some, but a timeless masterpiece for others.
Strikingly modern and distinctive, Synthetic Jungle offers an intriguing exploration of green and floral notes with effortless elegance.
