Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cologne 1888
A truly gorgeous, spa-like citrus aromatic that's inexplicably holed up in luxury hotel bathrooms. The public's clamouring for it proves Miller Harris is missing a trick - release this gem properly!
Acquired
Our Verdict - Incitatus
This one's a proper wild ride - Incitatus doesn't hold back, bringing an intense, almost brutal, opening before settling into something powerfully unique. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it beast, so don't even think about a blind buy.
