Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dries Van Noten par Frederic Malle Eau de Parfum

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 - Oro Eau de Parfum

Cavalli Oro is a wildly divisive fragrance. Folks either adore its warm, spicy embrace, finding it exotic and seductive, or they recoil from its intense, sometimes "medicinal" opening. This isn't a safe blind buy, but if you love bold orientals, it might just be your next obsession.
