Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Jewel EDP
This one's a proper oud bomb, no two ways about it. If you're into that deep, animalic woody vibe, you'll love it. If not, it's probably going to hit you like a brick, so best sample first. Definitely a polarising scent, but with serious presence.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Le Bois Noir EDP
If you're after a sophisticated, deep woody scent that doesn't scream for attention, Le Bois Noir is a solid contender. It's a classy, versatile option that punches above its weight without reinventing the wheel.
