Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mysterious Amber
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Mysterious Amber is a bold, long-lasting incense and amber bomb. Some find it a magnificent Tom Ford clone, others can't scrub it off fast enough. Definitely not for the faint of heart, or nose.

Our Verdict - Forever Wanted Absolu
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a boozy, smoky, vanilla dream; for others, it's a headache in a bottle. If you like your fragrances bold and grown-up, this could be your new winter staple. Don't blind buy unless you're feeling brave.
