Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously polarising scent: some call it a masterpiece, others an 'old-fashioned' mess. It's a grand, rich oriental that leans into vintage glamour, so you'll either adore its dense complexity or find it heavy and dated. Definitely not a blind buy.
Caron's Nuit de Noel is a divisive, gothic masterpiece. Expect a grand, somewhat challenging scent that some find enchanting and others, well, a bit musty. It's an acquired taste, but those who love it, really love it.
