Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gyan EDP
This one's a proper grown-up scent, oozing luxury and sophistication with a bit of a split personality on performance. Some absolutely rave about its unique blend, others find it too subtle for the price. If you’re into masterful patchouli and jasmine, it’s worth a sniff.

Our Verdict - Marien Limited Edition EDP
Marien Limited Edition is Fragrance Mall UK's own oriental-floral, not a stated dupe of a named designer scent. A sweet pineapple-citrus opening runs into a powdery iris-jasmine-incense heart before closing on patchouli - an eastern-styled bouquet that is fuller than most of the house's other releases, though the notes still sit as separate blocks rather than a truly blended accord.
