Which Should You Buy?
This one's a true classic, an approachable Serge Lutens that showcases cinnamon in its purest, warmest form. It's a crowd-pleaser that evokes strong feelings of cosy nostalgia, though some find its linearity a bit much. A real shame it's so hard to find now.
Xerjoff Starlight is a luxurious cardamom bomb - polarising for some, but a masterpiece for spicy fragrance lovers. It's an intoxicating journey from fresh zest to warm, comforting embrace, though some find it a bit too festive or a touch too linear for the price point. Definitely try before you buy.
