Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Overture Man Eau de Parfum
Overture Man is divisive, a complex beast of boozy spice and raw animalics. Not for the faint-hearted or those seeking broad appeal, it's a bold statement for the confident and the connoisseur.

Our Verdict - 8 88 Eau de Parfum
This isn't for the faint of heart; 8 88 is either a 'wow' or a 'weird', with its metallic-spicy embrace alienating as many as it enraptures. A challenging but undeniably unique scent for those who dare.
