Hindu Kush is a divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it scent that dares to be different. Expect a strong opening that mellows into something uniquely alluring, but be warned: this isn't a safe blind buy.

Bois d'Argent is a divisive beast: some hail it as a masterpiece, a soft, seductive veil of iris and woods. Others lambaste its disappearing act, claiming it's nothing more than overpriced air. If you land on the latter, you're not wrong, but if you're lucky enough to smell it, it's rather lovely.
