Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vetiver Geranium
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some rave about its unique sparkle and surprising longevity for a freshie, while others find it too linear or fleeting. It's a proper gentle charmer that smells expensive, but you might need to hunt it down now it's been discontinued.

Our Verdict - Hanuman
This one's a divisive topic: is it a genius elevation of a popular DNA, or just an overpriced copy? If you're after a sophisticated, longer-lasting version of Bal d'Afrique and money's no object, Hanuman could be your signature scent. Otherwise, you might find it a pricey disappointment.
