Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Portrayal Man EDP
This one's a divisive Amouage, a classic-leaning violet leaf bomb that either you'll adore for its green, clean richness or dismiss as a dated, overly soapy mess. Ignore the endless Fahrenheit comparisons - it’s a different beast.

Our Verdict - Bois d'Ebene EDP
Bois d'Ebene is a divisive one, often described as a 'safe' woody choice but still an 'addictive' charmer. Some find it a bit too commonplace for the price, others adore its smooth, creamy woodiness. Expect a quality, albeit understated, experience.
