Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Noir Epices EDP
Noir Epices is a truly polarising fragrance; a sophisticated, spicy oriental that some hail as a masterpiece and others find far too vintage, bordering on medicinal. You'll either adore its bitter orange and clove intensity or recoil from its potent blend.
Acquired
Our Verdict - By Kilian EDP
Rich woody and spicy nuances create a lasting impression, perfect for cool weather and intimate gatherings.
