Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Centaurus
This is a divisive one. Many hail Centaurus as a beast-mode, luxurious tobacco-vanilla, while others dismiss it as an overpriced holiday candle, lacking originality and far too sweet. Creed die-hards might find it a departure, but it's clearly a crowd-pleasing warm spicy amber that makes a statement.

Our Verdict - Carbonara
This one's a proper Marmite scent - you'll either love its peppery, creamy vanilla heart or find it too challenging. Don't expect a spaghetti supper, but do expect a bold, complex gourmand that'll get people talking.
