Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Chance

Skip the flankers, the original Chance EDT is still a masterpiece. It's a fresh, elegant, and surprisingly versatile scent that's been unfairly overshadowed. A modern classic with widespread appeal, offering an uplift of confidence and class.

Our Verdict - Chypre Charnel

Chypre Charnel splits opinion: some hail it as a masterclass in modern chypre, sophisticated and sensual, while others find its fruitiness too prominent, missing the genre's classic bite and smelling 'pestilential'. It's certainly a grown-up take on fruity chypres, but not for everyone.
