Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Original Santal EDP
Divisive and classic, Original Santal splits opinions but remains a creamy, sophisticated choice for those who appreciate a mature, natural take on a familiar sweet, woody profile. Forget the cheap dupes; this has a distinct elegance.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Mystic EDP
If you're after a beast. mode woody-lavender number that smells reassuringly expensive, Mystic delivers. Seriously strong and long-lasting, it's a firm choice for those who want to be noticed, but perhaps not for the faint of heart office worker.
