Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nisean EDP
A divisive yet distinctive offering from Parfums de Marly. Nisean is a sophisticated, woody-amber fragrance, celebrated by some as a true niche standout, while others find its intensity and traditional oriental profile a bit much. A 'hidden gem' for the initiated, if you can still find it.
Acquired
