Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - V pour Homme EDP
A legendary, much-missed classic. V pour Homme is a masterclass in elegant masculinity, a sweet-spicy woody scent that's often called 'sex in a bottle'. The community consensus is clear: it's perfect, but ridiculously hard to find now.

Our Verdict - Sacred Flame EDP
This one is a divisive marvel. Sacred Flame is a beast of a fragrance - a complex, spicy-fruity beast that some absolutely adore for its unique, evolving character and massive projection, while others find it too chaotic or even unpleasant. Definitely try before you buy.
