Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Wild Vetiver EDP
Don't let the name fool you - this is a rose fragrance, full stop. A clean, green, and fresh rose, but rose nonetheless. It’s a pleasant and persistent scent, ideal for spring and summer, though its high price point and misleading branding have sparked a fair bit of debate.

Our Verdict - In the City of Sin EDP
This one is a real head-scratcher and a classic case of 'your mileage may vary'. It's either an enchanting spicy fruit dream or a cloying, awkward mess. Best to try before you buy, unless you enjoy fragrant Russian roulette.
