Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nightfall Patchouli EDP
Nightfall Patchouli is a captivating, sweet and spicy crowd-pleaser, but a 'patchouli' perfume it ain't. It's a gorgeous scent but divisive on whether it lives up to its name or its hefty price tag. Go for the dupe if you're on a budget.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Colonia Mirra EDT
This is a seriously polarising scent - some find it an overlooked masterpiece, a warm and inviting embrace, but others recoil from a cloying, synthetic mess. It's a proper grown-up fragrance, undeniably sophisticated and for those who know their mind.
