Which Should You Buy?
A potent, sweet oud-leather blend that's a fantastic cheapie if you can still find it. It's divisive in its sweetness and strength, so spray sparingly or you'll clear a room.
This one's a divisive beast. Some adore its resinous, non-sweet vanilla and leathery depth, while others are left cold by a 'root beer' or 'cough syrup' accord, struggling to find the vanilla or even the leather. Definitely sample this before committing.
