Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Solo
This one's a divisive dark horse. Some reckon it's a classy, unique leather-tea blend, a more serious take on the original Solo. Others find it an absolute scrubber, akin to 'toilet spray' or a 'dusty gymnasium'. Try before you buy, unless you're a gambling man.

Our Verdict - The Grudge
This is a fiercely divisive beast of a perfume that screams 'niche' from the rooftops. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, pulling you into a murky, marine world unlike anything else. Not a crowd-pleaser, but a masterpiece for the adventurous few.
