Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bel Ami Vetiver
This is a grown-up, sophisticated leather-vetiver that's a stunning modern classic, even if it might lean a little 'sexy grandpa' for some. Definitely one to try before you buy, but if it clicks, it's an absolute steal for the quality.

Our Verdict - Amber Oud Black Edition
This isn't for the faint of heart; Amber Oud Black Edition is a potent, dark amber and leather bomb that screams confident intensity. It's a statement scent with monster projection - love it or hate it, you won't be ignored.
