Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper cold-weather powerhouse, leaning heavily into a warm, inviting sweetness with a leather backbone. It's a bit divisive - some find it a synthetic headache, others a cheap thrill. But if you're after a budget-friendly gourmand with a masculine edge, this could be your winter signature.
A spicy, woody powerhouse from Dominique Ropion that divides opinion but universally performs. You'll either adore its distinctive clove and cinnamon warmth or find it utterly overwhelming. Definitely not a blind buy.
