Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amour Nocturne Eau de Parfum
A cult classic, Amour Nocturne is polarising but adored by its fans. It's a sweet, smoky marvel that vanished too soon, leaving a trail of desperate collectors in its wake. If you've got a bottle, you're sitting on gold - don't let it go cheap.
Statement
Our Verdict - Posh Alpha Eau de Parfum
A seriously divisive one, this. It's a dead ringer for a high-end niche scent, with some calling it a masterpiece of inky, dusty rose and incense. But for others, it's a 'crypt-like' horror show, far too challenging for everyday wear. Approach with caution and an open mind.

Also Works:
