Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nerosa Eau de Parfum
Nerosa is a polarizing scent, with some hailing it as the 'best dark rose ever made' and others finding it too heavy and 'grandma musky'. It's a complex, woody-spicy rose that demands a test drive before committing.
Statement
Our Verdict - Safran Rare Eau de Parfum
This one's a divisive oud-saffron bomb that some absolutely adore for its smoky, leathery depth and beast-mode performance, while others find the saffron muted and the overall impression a bit one-note. Expect opulent warmth, but be warned, it's not for the faint of heart.
