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 - Moon Dance EDT
Moon Dance is a divisive, dark floral blend. It's a statement scent, with many loving its 'vintage but modern' vibe, yet some find it too heavy, 'old-ladyish', and even 'funereal'. You'll either love its seductive depths or find it an overwhelming blast from the past.
