Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Alexandria II EDP
A regal oud-amber composition, Alexandria II is a benchmark for opulent, brooding woods with an aristocratic signature. Fearlessly rich and enveloping, it commands attention with refinement and depth.

Our Verdict - Escape EDP
This 90s powerhouse is a true love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a strong, complex ride of fruity florals and herbal notes, with serious sillage and longevity - if your skin chemistry agrees.
