Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tam Dao Eau de Toilette
Tam Dao EDT is a subtle, photorealistic woody fragrance that evokes deep calm, but be warned: performance is often fleeting. It's a love-it-or-go-anosmic scent, so test before you commit.
Favourite
Our Verdict - J’approchais Un Mystère A.C. Eau de Parfum
A woody-green journey that takes its sweet time to get to the good bit - a creamy, nutty sandalwood drydown that's utterly divine, if fleeting. Worth the wait for some, others will find it just 'average' before it vanishes.
