Which Should You Buy?
A legendary, if divisive, Chanel masterpiece. You either get it or you don't - those who do fall madly in love with its rich, complex character, while others are left scratching their heads, or worse, running for the hills. Definitely not a blind buy.
This one's a true classic, often compared to Coco Mademoiselle but with its own smoky charm. It's a confident, long-lasting scent; just go easy on the trigger if you want to avoid giving anyone a patchouli headache.
