Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Viride
Viride is the love-it-or-hate-it woodland beast you didn't know you needed. Brace yourself for a powerful hit of green, then decide if you're hiking into a damp forest or just smelling like grandpa's aftershave.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Cerulean
Cerulean interprets Orto Parisi's Viride - that bitter, foresty green of crushed herbs and damp woods. The dupe sketches the wild herbal-woody character but renders it flatter and far less potent than the original, which is famous for monster longevity.
