Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Cashmere EDP
A cult classic, Black Cashmere is a divisive, intoxicating blend of dark spices and woods. It's a masterpiece that inspires obsession, but be warned, it's not for everyone. If you get it, you really get it.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Hinoki & Cedarwood EDP
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a classy, unique woody masterpiece, a spa in a bottle. Others are getting cleaning products, synthetic messes, or Christmas potpourri. It’s certainly got people talking, but not always agreeing.
