Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Kumkat Wood Eau de Parfum
Kumkat Wood is a divisive one, a chameleon that shifts from a 'masterpiece' to 'grandma smelling' depending on who you ask. It's a citrus-wood punch with surprising elegance that either sings on skin or falls completely flat.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Bracken Man Eau de Parfum
Bracken Man is a divisive, opinionated take on the classic fougère that, for many, achieves masterpiece status - a spicy, woody, green chameleon that transforms from a potent opening to a rich, warm drydown. Discontinuation has only intensified its cult following.
