Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Saffron Mandarin Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper marmite fragrance - you'll either love its realistic, zesty mandarin and unique woody dry down, or find it overwhelmingly sour and screechy. Definitely one to try before you buy a full bottle.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Sacro E Profano Extrait
This is a well-behaved oud-rose for those looking for an 'edgy' take on the classic combination without the barnyard funk. Don't expect a beast, but do expect a refined, addictive scent that will put a smile on your face.
