Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sur Mesure Noir Eau de Parfum
A spicy chameleon of a scent that swings between 'well-dressed woody spice' and 'metallic oddity'. It's got fans and detractors, often depending on whether you're after a faithful dupe or a unique dark wood. Expect cola vibes and a bit of a pickle twist for some, but a solid, warm spice for others.

Our Verdict - Pasha Cartier Eau de Parfum
Pasha de Cartier is an undeniable classic, a divisive 'love it or hate it' aromatic fougere with a bold, retro kick. If you fancy a scent that screams 90s masculinity and isn't afraid to be a bit 'funky' (in a good way, mostly), this is your juice.
