Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Carbone de Balmain EDT
This one's a divisive ghost of a perfume. You're either going to get a sophisticated, smoky resin masterpiece, or a very expensive pencil-shaving accord. Proceed with caution and don't blind-buy, even if it's discontinued.
Statement
Our Verdict - Rogart EDP
A truly gorgeous, unique woody-sweet scent that evokes an autumnal Canadian forest. It's a comforting, sophisticated hug in a bottle, perfect for those who appreciate understated elegance and nuanced woody sweetness. Don't be fooled by initial impressions; its subtle tenacity is legendary.
