Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sweet Morphine EDP
Sweet Morphine is a polarising floral that either wraps you in a powdery, luxurious embrace or throws you headfirst into a vintage, soapy nightmare. Love it or hate it, it demands attention.

Our Verdict - Essence de Patchouli EDP
A divisive take on patchouli, this one. Some find it a clean, refined, and exquisite woody-floral-musk. Others? A dusty, chocolatey, powdery concoction that misses the mark entirely. You'll either adore its unique spin or wonder what all the fuss is about.
