Which Should You Buy?
This one's a smooth operator - a clean, musky, woody scent that's a crowd-pleaser for many, though its performance can be a bit of a lottery. Expect a 'blue' vibe without the usual aquatic notes; it's a versatile choice that's often compared to designer faves, yet manages to carve out its own niche.
A creamy, woody, and intensely warm oriental that has achieved cult status. It's a genuine shame Yves Rocher binned this masterpiece, as it's left a legion of heartbroken fans desperate for its return.
