Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued 70s treasure is a love-it-or-hate-it beast. Some find its complex, animalic chypre character utterly captivating, a truly classic scent that commands attention. Others are put off by its challenging green and civet notes, finding it a bit too much for modern tastes.
This perfume is a divisive one. You'll either love its clean, classic floral aldehydic scent, or you'll find it an unpleasant, synthetic 'goblin juice'. It performs well, so if you're a fan of the style, it's a bargain.
