Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vetiver EDP
Roja Dove's Vetiver is a divisive scent, hailed by fans as 'the ultimate' yet slammed by critics as overpriced and unoriginal. Expect a battle in the comments section nearly as rich as the fragrance itself.

Our Verdict - Millesime 1849 EDP
This one's a divisive trip down memory lane. If you fancy smelling like old money, a vintage armchair, or your nan's Chanel No. 5, then Millesime 1849 is your jam. For the rest of us, it's a hard pass.
