Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ostara
This discontinued gem is a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's spring in a bottle: a photorealistic, green, and waxy daffodil masterpiece. For others, it's a rancid, animalic mess, with notes of decaying flowers or even urine. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if it works for you, it's a stunning, joyous creation.
Statement
Our Verdict - Don't Explain
A divisive brew for some, this isn't shy. It's a bold floral-spicy statement that either clicks with your chemistry or doesn't. Definitely not a blind buy.
