Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Crimson Rocks EDP
Crimson Rocks is a bold, divisive cinnamon bomb with a sticky honeyed rose heart. Some find it a delicious, regal winter warmer, while others are suffocated by the spice and find it too challenging or even 'geriatric'. Definitely try before you buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Velvet Rose and Oud - 101 EDP
A recognisable nod to Jo Malone's Velvet Rose & Oud, pairing the same dark rose-and-oud idea, but flatter and less velvety than the original, with a noticeably shorter smoky trail.
