Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Chergui Eau de Parfum
Chergui is divisive - a curious, compelling classic that evokes strong feelings, from adoration to polite dismissal. Some find it a masterpiece of honeyed tobacco, others a challenging, powdery affair, but it certainly isn't boring.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Volutes Eau de Parfum
Diptyque's Volutes is a warm, enveloping tobacco and iris scent, a consensual crowd-pleaser that manages to be both classic and utterly modern. Some find the longevity a bit shy, but the quality and blend are undeniable.
