Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gyan EDP
This one's a proper grown-up scent, oozing luxury and sophistication with a bit of a split personality on performance. Some absolutely rave about its unique blend, others find it too subtle for the price. If you’re into masterful patchouli and jasmine, it’s worth a sniff.

Our Verdict - 544 So Elixir Purple EDP
544 leans on Yves Rocher So Elixir Purple's milky-honeyed tuberose and vetiver pairing, but the smoky incense-patchouli base is flatter and the tuberose reads less creamy, closing down to a soft musk-woody finish sooner than the original.
