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 - Isabey Lys Noir EDT
Divisive, intriguing, and definitely not what its name suggests. Ignore the 'Noir' and indulge in this creamy, powdery white floral that's more elegant than edgy. Some find it a masterpiece, others a sweet, underwhelming disappointment.
