Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper masterpiece, oozing understated elegance and sophistication. A truly divisive scent, loved by many for its unique blend of woody florals and hated by a few who find it too harsh or reminiscent of unexpected things. It's a real shame it's discontinued, but if you can find it, you're in for a treat.
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find its fresh, clean character a touch 'boring' for the price, while others praise its gorgeous, energising floral blend. It's pleasant enough, but for Roja, maybe a bit safe.
