Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Musk Kashmir EDP
Musk Kashmir is a truly divisive scent. Some find it a clean, comforting musk that lasts all day, while others are baffled by the hype, calling it faint, metallic, or even like surgical gauze. It's a skin scent that's either a dream or a disappointment.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Sandal Ruby EDP
Sandal Ruby is a controversial beast: some find it a sublime, spicy-floral-woody dream, while others recoil from its synthetic harshness. It is definitely not a safe blind buy, but if it works for you, prepare to be addicted to its bold, unapologetic character.
