Which Should You Buy?
This is a proper love-it-or-hate-it patchouli bomb that punches way above its price point. It's not a '60s hippie patch, but a sophisticated, woody, and earthy take that some find divine and others, well, a bit too much.
This one's a bit of a head-scratcher and a potential dupe. Reviewers are split between 'banging' and 'basic', with several pointing out its striking resemblance to Dior's Vanilla Diorama.
