Which Should You Buy?
This one is a divisive little fruit bomb. Some adore its sweet, tropical embrace, while others find it a cloying, headache-inducing mess. If you're after a loud, vanilla-laden mango dream, you're in for a treat; otherwise, approach with caution.
Divisive, darling. Some reckon it's a 'divine' grown-up gourmand with an affordable Chanel vibe, others sniff 'spoiled top notes' or 'burnt sugar'. It's quirky, elegant, and generally a light-to-moderate performer, so don't expect it to fill a room.
