Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sur Mesure Noir Eau de Parfum

A spicy chameleon of a scent that swings between 'well-dressed woody spice' and 'metallic oddity'. It's got fans and detractors, often depending on whether you're after a faithful dupe or a unique dark wood. Expect cola vibes and a bit of a pickle twist for some, but a solid, warm spice for others.

Our Verdict - Tokyo Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper head-scratcher. It promises exotic Tokyo vibes but delivers a divisive blend of familiar masculine notes and elusive Japanese twists. Some rate it a unique, spicy temple forest, others a generic muddle. Try before you buy, obviously.

Best For:
