Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Caftan EDP
Caftan is a truly divisive scent; some rave about its luxurious incense and amber, calling it a masterpiece, while others dismiss it as an "old lady's closet" or overly synthetic baby powder. Test before you invest in this love-it-or-hate-it amber bomb.

Our Verdict - Paradox Orient EDP
Don't let the name fool you - this ain't Paradox Orient, it's Irish Leather's cheaper, surprisingly good cousin. Performance is cracking, but the price tag might have you side-eyeing other dupes.
