Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, potent, and eye-wateringly expensive, Blue Sapphire demands attention. Many laud its unique, opulent blend, but an equal number are left cold, questioning its originality and astronomical price tag.
Black Gold is a divisive one. Some hail it as a masterpiece of complex layering and luxury, while others find it confused, bitter, or too linear. It needs time to appreciate and may not work for everyone's skin chemistry.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.
Occasions
