Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gris Montaigne Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper masterpiece, oozing understated elegance and sophistication. A truly divisive scent, loved by many for its unique blend of woody florals and hated by a few who find it too harsh or reminiscent of unexpected things. It's a real shame it's discontinued, but if you can find it, you're in for a treat.

Our Verdict - Divin Aoud Eau de Parfum

Divin Aoud is a proper love-it-or-hate-it scent. Animalic and bold, it's either a sophisticated, luxurious beast or an absolute litter box nightmare. You'll need to be brave to pull this off, the performance means you're definitely making a statement.
