Which Should You Buy?
Tom Ford's Myrrhe Mystère is a deeply divisive blend, attracting both lavish praise for its rich, mysterious depth and sharp criticism for its perceived mediocrity and exorbitant price. It's a myrrh-forward journey that polarises wearers between transcendental luxury and profound disappointment.
A truly polarising beast, Junoon Velvet Pour Homme is either a 'ravishing' and 'opulent' scent or 'weird herbs' and 'not a pleasant smell'. If you can ride out the divisive opening, you'll find a luxurious, velvety leather drydown that punches well above its price tag.
