Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud Save The King EDP
This one's a smooth operator, a crowd-pleaser that often gets compared to other fragrances- sometimes favourably, sometimes not. It's a gateway oud, softened by creamy accords, perfect for those dipping their toes into the richer side of perfumery without the full beast mode commitment.

Our Verdict - Dior Homme Cologne EDC
This legendary, now discontinued, Dior Homme Cologne is a masterpiece for a reason. Its unique blend of iris and citrus divides opinion, but those who love it cherish its sophisticated, versatile charm and mourn its absence.
