Which Should You Buy?
This isn't your usual sweet, creamy fig. Some find it a green, elegant masterpiece, others recoil from its bitter, chalky nature. Be warned, it's a divisive one, you'll either adore its unique earthiness or wonder what all the fuss is about.
This one's a proper head-turner, though divisive. Some reckon it's a stellar, beast-mode citrus freshie, but beware: the synthetic edge and potential for an overpowering amber-musk drydown means it's not for everyone. Hype often leads to heartbreak here, so try before you buy.
