Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 1872 Vetiver
This one is a real gem, if you can actually find it. Lovers of complex, vetiver-led scents reckon it's heaven in a bottle, opening up beautifully over time. It's a genuine shame it's so elusive.
Acquired
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.
