Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ma Griffe Eau de Parfum
Ma Griffe is a true love-it-or-hate-it classic that sparks instant, often visceral, reactions. Its vintage green chypre profile is undeniably divisive, with many finding it an acquired taste, while others laud its unparalleled elegance and unique character that simply doesn't exist in modern perfumery.
Statement
Our Verdict - Vent Vert Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper cult classic, but be warned: the 1991 reformulation is still a green powerhouse, though some purists might sniff at it compared to the original. It's divisive, sharp, and certainly not for everyone, but if you love a truly 'green' scent, you'll be hooked.
