Which Should You Buy?
This polarizing violet-centric fragrance is either a dark, sweet, and sensual masterpiece or smells like burnt plastic, rubber, and regret. There's no middle ground, so sample first unless you're feeling adventurous.
This one's a bit of a mystery, isn't it? The community reviews are all over the place, largely due to confusion with another perfume, Amani. If you can track down the real Anaqa, expect a powdery floral experience; if you end up with Amani, prepare for a sweet gourmand.
