Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dark Rum Eau de Parfum
Don't let the name fool you - this ain't no deep, boozy rum. It's a surprisingly clean, fresh take on plum and leather with a creamy, almost shampoo-like softness. Some find it sexy and addictive, others call it a 'basic ass plum' or 'laundry detergent'. A divisive scent where a blind buy is definitely not advised.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Star Men Nebula Eau de Parfum
A divisive, boozy beast that matures from a harsh opening into a surprisingly refined scent. While some find it lacking in depth and longevity, many adore its uncanny resemblance to a discontinued classic, making it a budget-friendly delight for those who appreciate a good malt.
