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.

Our Verdict - Arsenic Osman Extreme
This osmanthus-led beast is either a divisive makeup bag accord or a multi-faceted, fruity-floral dream; a true love-it-or-hate-it scent. Definitely one to try before you buy, but don't expect it to be a quiet one.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Casual

Given its 'Extreme' designation, strong sillage, and polarizing nature, this is unsuitable for the office. Its bold, multifaceted character and reported longevity make it perfect for dates and evening formal events, while being a bit much for casual wear.
