Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Persephone's Patchouli
This is a patchouli for the uninitiated, offering a cleaner, fresher take on a classic note. It's often hailed as a modern, wearable patchouli, but some find it lacks character and performance. A gorgeous and addictive 'modern sexy patchouli' for some, a 'soapy mess' for others.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Perfumista
A love-it-or-hate-it scent for the true 'perfumista', this one divides opinion with its strong personality. It's a complex, evolving chypre that's been lauded as a masterpiece by some and dismissed as 'old lady vibes' by others. Get it while it's still available.
