Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Santal Calling EDP
If Santal Calling is for you, then it's a creamy, dreamy masterpiece; if not, you'll be swimming in a pickle jar. This one's highly divisive, loved for its refined sandalwood and hated for its uncanny resemblance to other controversial sandalwood scents. Test before you buy.

Our Verdict - Sparkling Opal Extrait
This one's a divisive beauty: some find it a touch too masculine or a bit linear, but for many, it's a classy, versatile scent that evokes exotic spice markets before settling into a soft, woody embrace. Don't blind buy, but give it a skin test.
