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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Wild Water EDP
Wild Water follows Dior Sauvage's bergamot-pepper-ambroxan template but swaps in an oakmoss-vetiver base rather than the original's signature ambroxan-woody skin scent, giving it a more classic, earthier finish.
