Which Should You Buy?
A cult favourite snatched from us too soon, Parfumée au Thé Rouge is an elegant, warm tea scent that inspires devotion despite its quiet nature. It's a divisive brew of sharp pepper and sweet fig, but a true icon.
A Francis Kurkdjian creation for the masses, this fig-focused scent is either a juicy, uplifting delight or far too sweet and fleeting, sparking a classic love-it-or-hate-it debate among fragheads.
