Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gyan
This one's a proper grown-up scent, oozing luxury and sophistication with a bit of a split personality on performance. Some absolutely rave about its unique blend, others find it too subtle for the price. If you’re into masterful patchouli and jasmine, it’s worth a sniff.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Safari Rose
Safari Rose takes the classic rose-patchouli combo and gives it a modern, almost aggressive twist. It's not a shy scent; expect to be noticed. This isn't your grandma's rose garden; it's a statement.
