Which Should You Buy?
This Y2K classic is divisive by design. Ultraviolet is not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get it' swear by its unique violet-pepper-apricot blend for a truly unforgettable scent. Just watch out for that dodgy atomizer.
This 80s powerhouse is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, a punchy, complex chypre that divides opinions but commands attention. An acquired taste for some, a treasured gem for others, its intensity makes it unforgettable.
