Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oro Nero EDP
This is a serious, opulent fragrance for those who like their spice rich and their woods deep. It draws obvious comparisons to Amouage Interlude Man- some call it a twin, others a distinct cousin. Regardless, it delivers a heady, luxurious experience that's polarising but undeniably high-quality.

Our Verdict - Purple Stain EDP
This is a bold, divisive scent - you'll either love Purple Stain's distinctive 'grape' character and incredible performance or recoil from its intensity. Not for the faint of heart or nose, it's a statement piece that's garnered a cult following.
