Which Should You Buy?
If you're after a sophisticated, modern iris experience without breaking the bank, this one's a solid shout. It's a proper grown-up scent that delivers on its promise of elegance and depth.
If only this performed as well as its bottle looks; Rasasi's Extraordinary Red is a pleasant, modern woody-spicy option for those who like their fragrance close to the skin, but you'll need to reapply it often.
