Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nutmeg & Ginger
This one's a proper marmite scent - you'll either love its fresh, spicy kick or find it too sharp and reminiscent of cleaning products. A true 90s classic for ginger and nutmeg fans, but don't expect it to last ages.
Statement
Our Verdict - X Twist Baies Rose
A spicy, woody twist on a classic, this limited edition is a cult favourite among Clive Christian fans, who praise its luxurious feel while generally agreeing it's not a huge departure from the original. Pricey, but then you knew that already didn't you?
