Which Should You Buy?
This is a serious, grown-up amber, not for the faint of heart. It's divisive, adored by those who appreciate its unique, melancholic elegance and disliked by those expecting a sweet, traditional amber. A blind buy for amber lovers, but proceed with caution.
This smoky, ambery vanilla is a divisive one - some find it meditative and opulent, others a 'depressing' chemical mess. It's a dark, sweet, and unique scent, sadly discontinued, that's best for those who appreciate its deep, gothic charm without overwhelming projection.
