Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Lover's Tale

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, a beast of a fragrance with a divisive opening that evolves into something truly seductive and artistic. Brace yourself, it's not shy, but those who 'get it' absolutely adore its raw, unapologetic charm.

Our Verdict - Relax

Unique and hard to pin down, Relax is a fruity, musky leather that's certainly not for everyone. Expect a divisive love-it-or-hate-it reaction with this one.

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual Formal

Its distinctive musky, animalic and leathery accords make this scent a bit too dominant for office environments but perfect for a date night. The surprising gourmand-like fruity touches also keep it from being strictly formal.
