Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Declaration d'Un Soir Eau de Parfum

This is a masterpiece that should never have been discontinued. An elegant, fresh, and spicy rose for men that turns heads without shouting, though some find it a touch too floral or dated. It's often debated if it's truly masculine, but it definitely leaves an impression.

Our Verdict - Noir Epices Eau de Parfum

Noir Epices is a truly polarising fragrance; a sophisticated, spicy oriental that some hail as a masterpiece and others find far too vintage, bordering on medicinal. You'll either adore its bitter orange and clove intensity or recoil from its potent blend.
