Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fig
A truly green fig that's either a photorealistic forest or an astringent, unripe fruit shop, depending on who you ask. It's a calming, subtle scent, but some find the performance underwhelming given the price.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 1872 Basil
This flanker refines its classic predecessor, delivering a smoother, greener, and more balanced aromatic experience. It's a definite upgrade for those who found the original a bit too sharp, offering a nuanced sophistication that's widely appreciated.
