Which Should You Buy?
Sycomore is a 'quiet luxury' vetiver masterpiece, though its close resemblance to cheaper alternatives and its divisive performance cause some debate. Expect a sophisticated, high-quality woody experience, but don't expect it to shout for attention.
Made Of Sand is exactly what it says on the tin: a clean, fresh, woody scent that evokes windswept beaches. It's an easy-to-wear, crowd-pleasing scent that's perfect for everyday wear, though it might not surprise you.
