Which Should You Buy?
Hindu Kush is a divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it scent that dares to be different. Expect a strong opening that mellows into something uniquely alluring, but be warned: this isn't a safe blind buy. Sample first, or risk smelling like a fish stall or a head shop, depending on your skin chemistry and olfactory luck.
No.426 pursues Dior's Bois d'Argent, keeping the cool iris-cypress-juniper opening and suede-tinged woody base recognisable, but rendering the myrrh-patchouli heart and the luxurious suede accord notably thinner and less textured than the Maison Christian Dior original.
