Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Labdanum 18 EDP
Labdanum 18 is a divisive animalic musk that's either a cosy, sophisticated baby powder bomb or a challenging, almost offensive 'petting zoo' scent. It's not for everyone, but if it works with your skin chemistry, it's an addictive and much-loved modern classic.
Statement
Our Verdict - Oud Intense Saffron EDP
This one's a proper saffron bomb, divisive for its synthetic edge, but intriguing for those who dig a bold, fruity oud. Not for the faint-hearted, it’s a love-it-or-hate-it affair.

Its warmth, sweetness, and prominent animalic notes make it better suited for intimate dates or formal evening wear rather than a professional office. While some find it comforting casually, its intensity can be too much for everyday wear or active sport.
