Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously divisive scent. Some call it a masterpiece, a bold, masculine statement with incredible value, while others find it simply repulsive 'medicinal Vicks' or 'cow poop' leather. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if you like challenge, it's a unique ride.
Lubin's Idole EDP is a divisive one. Many find it a rich, boozy, sophisticated amber-wood symphony, but a good proportion are left underwhelmed by its projection and longevity. A 'love it or leave it' kinda scent, with a price tag to match its luxurious bottle.
