Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Noir Epices EDP
Noir Epices is a truly polarising fragrance; a sophisticated, spicy oriental that some hail as a masterpiece and others find far too vintage, bordering on medicinal. You'll either adore its bitter orange and clove intensity or recoil from its potent blend.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Vanilla Edesia EDP
Don't be fooled by the name - this isn't a simple vanilla. Vanilla Edesia is a polarising, complex beast of a scent, where spicy and woody notes wrestle for dominance with a creamy vanilla. Definitely one to sample first.
