Which Should You Buy?
Black Line by Mancera is a polarising rose and leather combo. While some rave about its smooth, sophisticated blend, others find it shockingly synthetic or reminiscent of a dentist's office. Definitely one to sample before you commit.
Tom Ford Oud Fleur: a divisive journey into dark, dirty rose and animalic oud. Some declare it a masterpiece, a hauntingly beautiful blend. Others find it harsh and underwhelming, questioning its oud credentials entirely. For a scent now discontinued, it certainly leaves a memorable impression, for better or worse.
