Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Interlude Black Iris EDP
Interlude Black Iris is a beast, plain and simple. It's a challenging, polarising beast with massive sillage and longevity. You'll either love its dark, smoky, buttery iris or you'll be running for the hills. Definitely not a blind buy.

Our Verdict - Cuir Mythique EDP
This isn't for everyone. Cuir Mythique is a divisive, smoky leather beast that some find utterly magnetic, while others recoil from its intense, ash-tray opening. Definitely try before you buy.
