Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Kokorico EDP
A love-it-or-hate-it scent that divides opinion, Kokorico is for those who dare to be different. It's a bold, earthy cacao bomb that leaves a lasting impression, though opinions on whether that impression is good or bad vary wildly.
Acquired
Our Verdict - L'Essence EDP
This green-violet delight is a divisive modern classic. Lovers consider it a sophisticated masterpiece, others find it too masculine or simply 'meh'. It's refined and understated, perfect for those who appreciate elegant green florals that challenge expectations.
