Which Should You Buy?
A divisive yet distinctive beast from Lutens. This licorice-leather-vanilla syrup is either a masterpiece of dark luxury or a cloying, uninspired rehash. One thing's for sure: it's not for the faint-hearted.
Indult Tihota. The vanilla that launched a thousand takes, and a hefty dose of internet hype. If you want a straightforward (expensive) vanilla done well, this is it. But if you're expecting complex magic, prepare for disappointment. It's a simple pleasure, albeit one many deem atrociously overpriced.
