Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Samphire

A divisive, fresh-spicy aromatic that delivers barbershop classic vibes, perfect for those who crave a clean, uplifting scent. While some find its sherbet lemon opening a bit too much, others declare it a signature worthy, high-quality offering.

Our Verdict - The Gin Garden

A divisive scent, The Gin Garden aims for a specific, boozy fresh profile. Some find it surprisingly wearable and evocative, while others detect an odd, unbalanced vibe. It's a curiosity worth sampling, particularly for fans of experimental indie perfumes.
