Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Saint Rémy Extrait

This one's a divisive sniff, folks. Some call it an earthy, classy freshie, others can't get past the 'old car' vibe. You'll either get its complex, challenging dance between clean and raw, or you'll be reaching for the surgical masks.

Our Verdict - Pontevecchio Eau de Parfum

This woody aromatic is a divisive one - some find it a gorgeous, refined Italian scent, others find it too old-school and generic. Expect clean, fresh woody florals with a hint of incense, but be prepared for a strong personality.
