Which Should You Buy?
This one's a trip. Magic Mushrooms is a bold, divisive scent that swings from fruity-sweet nostalgia to heady, earthy cannabis. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but those who 'get it' swear it's a unique masterpiece.
French Affair is a divisive beast: a modern chypre that’s either a masterpiece of sophisticated, earthy allure or a musty old house, depending on who you ask. Brace yourself for compliments, or complaints.

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