Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Horse
Black Horse is an absolute bargain that punches well above its weight class. A sweet citrus aromatic that can be surprisingly divisive on first sniff, but often settles into a crowd-pleasing, woody-sweet delight.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Verbenas of Provence EDC
A tragically discontinued Jo Malone classic that inspires utter devotion, Verbenas of Provence is a bright, uplifting citrus-herbal that defined summer for many. People are still desperate for its return.
