Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Glow EDP
Prepare for a soft, understated glow, not a dazzling spotlight. This warm amber-vanilla scent is a pleasant, easy reach that won't offend, but it also won't set the world alight. Many find it too subtle, even boring, while others cherish its gentle charm and versatility.
Favourite
Our Verdict - MALVS EDP
This one's a divisive, dark amber. Some reckon it's a mysterious, sensual masterpiece with temple vibes, while others find it a cloying, dated mess. Definitely one to try before you commit, as it pushes strong opinions.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:

Its mild projection and generally inoffensive scent profile make it highly suitable, even 'office safe', as many reviews note. However, its understated nature means it won't shine for formal events or adventurous dates where a bolder statement is often desired.
