Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Havana Cologne
Light, bright and tropical without being sickly sweet, Havana is a warm, spicy hug that projects serious holiday vibes. A modern twist from a classic house, it's pretty versatile and a solid crowd-pleaser.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Orris Noir
Don't let the 'Noir' in the name fool you, this isn't a dark scent. Whilst some find it a unique spicy-woody experience, a notable segment of the community can't even stomach it. Try before you buy.

With moderate longevity and sillage, it's versatile enough for an office setting if applied lightly, but truly shines for dates or formal events where its unique spicy-woody character can be appreciated without being overwhelming. The warm, spicy accords do not suit sport.
