Which Should You Buy?
Divisive and distinctive, Basilico & Fellini serves up a controversial, hyper-realistic green blast. Some find it a summer garden dream, others a Pesto nightmare or an anise overload. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
Ichnusa is an intoxicatingly realistic fig leaf scent that captures the essence of a Mediterranean summer. It's wildly photorealistic and addictive, though be warned: for some, the performance falls far short of its hefty price tag. Divisive, but a masterpiece for fig lovers.
