Which Should You Buy?
A divisive, take-no-prisoners chypre oriental that some declare a masterpiece and others a scrubber. Fans describe it as opulent, rich, and sexy; detractors find it overwhelmingly spicy, medicinal, or even fecal. Love it or hate it, Fate Woman is never boring.
Prepare for a deeply divisive scent, Chimaera by Tiziana Terenzi is a chameleon of chaos. Some find it a complex masterpiece, a 'holy grail' of spicy gourmands, while others are met with 'burnt hair' or a 'synthetic mess'. It's not a crowd-pleaser, but rather a journey for the bold.
