Which Should You Buy?
Sandal Ruby is a controversial beast: some find it a sublime, spicy-floral-woody dream, while others recoil from its synthetic harshness. It is definitely not a safe blind buy, but if it works for you, prepare to be addicted to its bold, unapologetic character.
This isn't your grandma's rose. Rose Taif is a polarising scent - some find it a gorgeous, comforting woody-rose, others find it too sharp and bitter. Definitely sample first before committing.
