Which Should You Buy?
A divisive yet treasured classic, Ispahan evokes a bold, mysterious allure. Many find it "sexy" and "sensual", though some deem it too heavy or "old" for modern tastes. If you seek a statement scent, this enchanting oriental is worth seeking out.
This one's a bit of a tease. Beautiful, complex, and intriguing on first sniff, but it quickly falls flat with its lacklustre performance. Expect compliments, but only if people get really, really close. Overpriced for what you get.
