Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Iconic Statement Red Eau de Parfum

This one is a divisive woody beast, leaning heavily on that aggressive, dry ambroxan vibe. If you like the dense, diffussive profile of Kenzo and Le Beau Paradise Garden, you might find this budget-friendly alternative hits the mark. Otherwise, prepare for intensity.

Our Verdict - Lato Oscuro Extrait

Lato Oscuro means 'Dark Side', and it delivers: this is a deep, resinous, aromatic scent unapologetic in its intensity. It's a statement piece, not a crowd-pleaser for the faint of heart, perfect for those who appreciate a truly unique aroma. Prepare for strong opinions.
