Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Volutes Eau de Toilette
Volutes EDT is a divisive beast: some find it a sublime, comforting honeyed tobacco dream, while others are baffled by its poor projection and fleeting performance, leaving them feeling short-changed. This is not universally loved, but has its ardent cheerleaders.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Myrrhe Impériale Eau de Parfum
This cult classic is pure liquid gold - stunningly rich, resinous, and deeply warm. The amber and myrrh shine through, making it feel like a cherished secret. If you can still get your hands on it, don't hesitate; this is a truly majestic and much-missed masterpiece.

Its moderate sillage and warm, tobacco-amber profile make it suitable for dates and formal events, though some find the EDT too subtle for these. While some reviewers call it a perfect wintertime signature for casual day use, its potential lack of longevity means it might not see you through a full office day.
