Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bibliothèque EDP
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Don't go in expecting dusty old books, because what you get is a bold, sweet, and divisive plum-and-leather punch to the face. You'll either adore its unique swagger or run for the hills.
Statement
Our Verdict - Musk Al Haramain EDP
A clean girl magnet, Musk Al Haramain is a supremely soapy, powdery musk that’s ideal for layering or just smelling effortlessly chic. It's a crowd-pleaser for those who love understated elegance.
