Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - A Midsummer Dream EDP
This one's a proper grower, isn't it? A divisive Roja that polarises opinions like Brexit, but ultimately, it's a classy, sophisticated wear for those who appreciate traditional perfumery. Don't expect a crowd-pleaser; this is for the connoisseur, not the newbie.

Our Verdict - Derby Club House Belmont EDP
This is Derby Club House Belmont, a divisive fragrance that tries to channel Terre d'Hermes. Some rave about its uncanny resemblance and stellar performance for the price, others dismiss it as a cheap, synthetic imposter. Definitely not a blind buy.

Its impressive longevity and strong projection make it less suitable for a confined office setting, where it might overwhelm.
