Which Should You Buy?
A divisive one, this. Police's 'To Be Born To Shine Woman' is an affordable Black Opium-esque scent that some rave about for its warm, sweet coffee goodness, while others dismiss as a synthetic, short-lived dupe. Best for those who enjoy gourmand profiles and don't mind a touch of artificiality in their budget-friendly buys.
This one's a shapeshifter, a 'love it or scrub it off' affair. Some adore its creamy, sparkling warmth; others find it a sharp, almost masculine mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy, despite that gorgeous bottle.
