Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dark Rum
Don't let the name fool you - this ain't no deep, boozy rum. It's a surprisingly clean, fresh take on plum and leather with a creamy, almost shampoo-like softness. Some find it sexy and addictive, others call it a 'basic ass plum' or 'laundry detergent'. A divisive scent where a blind buy is definitely not advised.

Our Verdict - Allure of Love Rouge
A sweet, fruity leather that grabs attention without being shouty. If you like something strong but refined, this one's definitely worth a sniff.
