Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dries Van Noten par Frederic Malle

This one's a true masterpiece, a unicorn for lovers of luxurious, creamy sandalwood gourmands, though its polarising medicinal or 'weird' facets initially put some off. If you can get past its quirks, prepare for pure, comforting bliss.

Our Verdict - The Envy of FOMO

A divisive clone of a cult classic. Some say it's spot on, others claim it misses the mark entirely, but if you're chasing that elusive 90s vibe, it might just scratch that itch.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual Formal

Its warmth, sweetness, and strong sillage make it less suitable for a professional office setting. However, its unique and sophisticated profile, combined with good longevity, makes it perfect for date nights and formal events, drawing compliments and leaving a memorable trail.
