Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Noir Epices EDP
Noir Epices is a truly polarising fragrance; a sophisticated, spicy oriental that some hail as a masterpiece and others find far too vintage, bordering on medicinal. You'll either adore its bitter orange and clove intensity or recoil from its potent blend.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Fire & Spice Extrait
A versatile spicy and woody fragrance, perfect for both daytime and evening wear with impressive longevity.
