Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Centaurus Eau de Parfum
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 - Night Scented Stock Eau de Toilette
This one's a wildcard. Penhaligon's Night Scented Stock is a divisive beast, some lamenting its deviation from the flower it's named after, others revelling in its bold, old-school charm. Expect big spices and powdery florals, just don't expect it to smell like actual stock.
