Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cucumber
Don't let the name fool you - this isn't a basic, run-of-the-mill freshie. Perfumer H's Cucumber is a sophisticated, understated take on green freshness, lauded for its sheer cleverness and natural texture. It's a quiet whisper, not a shout, making it incredibly versatile, yet perhaps overlooked.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Pioneer
A divisive yet distinctive woody citrus for those who appreciate a dry, bitter, and rugged scent. It's not a crowd-pleaser, but if you're after something bold and earthy, this could be your unique signature.
