Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bois Noir EDP
Bois Noir is a divisive, woody beast - a sophisticated autumn walk in a bottle for some, an acrid, headache-inducing pencil shaving for others. Try before you buy, but if the dark woods speak to you, it's a stellar, unique choice.

Our Verdict - Inkredible EDP
A budget take on Louis Vuitton's Ink Mark from the Journey to China collection, echoing its restrained sandalwood-incense-amber build. It is simpler and less powdery-nuanced than the original's slow evolution from a coconut-rice opening into smoky wood, but keeps the disciplined, incense-forward character.
