Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Basma Noir
This one is a properly divisive beast - you'll either adore its spicy-woody complexity or find it utterly perplexing. It's not for the faint-hearted, but for those who get it, it's a unique standout.
Statement
Our Verdict - Insherah Gold
This musky sandalwood charmer is divisive - some find it sweetly sophisticated and clean; others complain it's too 'French' and reminds them of J'adore without the lasting power. If you like a rich, oriental gourmand feel that works with your skin's chemistry, this is for you.
