Which Should You Buy?
A legendary fruity-woody marvel, Feminite du Bois is a divisive but deeply loved masterpiece. Its intense, complex character and formidable performance mean it's not for everyone, but those who 'get' it treasure its unique magic.
This discontinued 90s powerhouse is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a sublime, boozy Christmas pudding of a scent; for others, a harsh, peppery "old lady" fragrance. It's certainly a bold statement, not for the faint of heart, but those who adore it do so with fervent passion.
