Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Crystal Noir Eau de Toilette
This EDT is a divisive beast: some rave about its fresh, creamy spice, others smell cleaning products or worse. Despite the controversy, its impressive performance for an EDT makes it a cult classic, with many finding it a sophisticated, sexy signature scent.

Our Verdict - Musk Kashmir Eau de Parfum
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.
