Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper grower, isn't it? A divisive Roja that polarises opinions like Brexit, but ultimately, it's a classy, sophisticated wear for those who appreciate traditional perfumery. Don't expect a crowd-pleaser; this is for the connoisseur, not the newbie.
This one's a divisive cheapie - a love-it-or-hate-it citrus-woody blend that some find fresh and comforting, while others recoil from what they describe as a "stale, rotten" note. Definitely not a safe blind buy, despite the attractive price tag.
