Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ardent EDP
Ardent is a smooth, sophisticated rose and beeswax number, a clear step up from TF Noir de Noir for many. Its elegant ambered-rose profile and softer projection make it more versatile, though some feel the performance could be bolder for the price.

Our Verdict - Midnight Poison Extrait
A legendary, dark rose-patchouli-vanilla combination that inspires obsession. Midnight Poison is hauntingly beautiful and tragically missed by those who experienced its allure. It polarises some with its mentholated facets, but for most, this is pure magic in a bottle.
