Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Sugar EDP
Divisive, intriguing, and undeniably unique, Black Sugar is a cult classic that demands patience. Its initial "burnt rubber" shock gives way to a truly addictive, dark gourmand experience that sets it apart from typical sweet offerings.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Ombre Nomade Oil
A budget oil take on Louis Vuitton's Ombre Nomade - the smoky oud-and-incense core lands, but the raspberry sweetness sits louder and flatter than the original's slow-smouldering blend.
