Which Should You Buy?
A divisive tribute to the spicy carnation, Malmaison is a powerhouse of clove and floral depth. It's not for everyone - some find it regal and bold, others too sharp or even 'sickly' - but it leaves a lasting impression.
An underrated gem that sparks joy, 1001 is a complex, sweet, and warmly spiced dream. It's truly a luxurious fruit candy experience, though a few found its performance disappointing.
