Which Should You Buy?
This is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with opinions split firmly down the middle. Some find it a seductive, unique fruity leather, while others recoil from its synthetic sweet notes, often comparing it to vape juice or cheap sweets. Sample first, definitely.
Chases the sweet-versus-dark drama of SHL 777 Venom Incarnat - candied wild strawberry and caramel against a black leather and cedar backdrop. Perfume Parlour pushes the sugary berry louder while the original's bitter leathery 'venom' depth and projection are softened.
