Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Red Wine Brown Sugar
This one's a divisive pour, isn't it? Love it or hate it, Red Wine Brown Sugar is a bold, realistic take on fermented fruits and boozy warmth. It's for those who appreciate the theatrical and aren't afraid to smell truly unique.
Statement
Our Verdict - Sceptre Desert
This Sceptre is a smooth operator - a delicious, fruity-sweet leather bomb that punches way above its weight. Don't let the price fool you; this is a seriously well-blended, powerful fragrance destined to become a cult favourite.
