Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Cashmere
A cult classic, Black Cashmere is a divisive, intoxicating blend of dark spices and woods. It's a masterpiece that inspires obsession, but be warned, it's not for everyone. If you get it, you really get it.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Blue Oud
A solid, spicy rose-oud bomb that's hard to ignore. It’s got a big presence that demands attention, but might not be everyone’s cup of tea for its intensity and lack of sweetness.
