Which Should You Buy?
Tom Ford Shanghai Lily is a deeply polarising scent. While many hail it as a devastatingly beautiful masterpiece, others find it too bitter and overwhelming, smelling of dentist's offices or burnt incense. This isn't a safe blind buy, but for those who love bold, oriental florals, it's an enchanting and unforgettable experience.
This one is a divisive beauty. Some find it a 'nasal decongestant' or 'too much', but for many, Furiosa is a sophisticated, warm, and unique amber-floral with a Gothic edge. A genuine love-it-or-hate-it gem that's sadly discontinued.
