Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Body Kouros EDT
This one's a cult classic, polarising some but adored by many as a divine, unique masterpiece. Forget the original Kouros; Body Kouros is its own beast - a sexy, warm, and mysterious scent that's sadly discontinued but definitely worth seeking out.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Amber - Absolut Perfume EDP
Eden's own Absolut-collection amber oriental, built on bay leaf and resin over a myrrh, sandalwood and benzoin-vanilla base. A dry, dusty, powdery amber with a slightly boozy, balsamic warmth rather than a designer-named copy.
