Which Should You Buy?
A divisive yet captivating scent, Gdańsk is a rich, boozy amber-leather with a jammy plum heart. It's not for everyone, with some finding it too heavy or familiar, but its fans adore its complex, sophisticated warmth. Definitely test before you commit.
This one's a proper dark horse - a challenging, art-school scent that's absolutely divisive. You'll either get its slick, vinyl-musk vibe and adore its edgy originality, or recoil from a 'burnt plastic' nightmare. Definitely not a blind buy.
