Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sud Magnolia

This one's a mixed bag. Some find it a truly beautiful magnolia moment, fresh and charming. But a good few others get hit with a harsh, bitter citrus and a 'musty' rose, with performance being a common gripe across the board. Try before you buy, definitely - your skin chemistry will decide its fate.

Our Verdict - Hanuman

This one's a divisive topic: is it a genius elevation of a popular DNA, or just an overpriced copy? If you're after a sophisticated, longer-lasting version of Bal d'Afrique and money's no object, Hanuman could be your signature scent. Otherwise, you might find it a pricey disappointment.
