Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black to Black Eau de Parfum
This one's a divisive powerhouse, absolutely not for the faint of heart. If you're a fan of bold rose-ouds with nuclear performance, Black to Black is a must-try - just be warned it can fill a room and some find it overbearing.

Our Verdict - 500 Years Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper grower, mind. It starts a bit challenging with a rubbery, almost medicinal kick, but if you stick with it, 500 Years blossoms into a dark, luxurious rose-and-cacao affair. Definitely not a blind buy, but for those who get it, it's an addictive, enigmatic beast.
