Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously polarising scent: some find it a sexy, boundary-pushing masterpiece, while others are put off by its intensity. It's a grand, dramatic fragrance strictly for those who dare to be different and shun anything remotely 'inoffensive'.
This one's a bit of a head-turner - a bold and sensual oriental that's garnered a seriously passionate following, despite some finding its earthy, woody drydown a tad too masculine. You'll either adore its mysterious depths or find it needs a little softening.
