Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Blanc Kogane EDP
Blanc Kogane is a divisive white floral musk, championed by those who adore its clean, sophisticated character but dismissed by others who find it leans too indolic or even 'dirty'. Sample first, because this one's a wildcard.
Statement
Our Verdict - Snow Gem EDP
Perfume Parlour's version of Armani Prive's Blanc Kogane. The sparkling soapy-aldehyde-and-white-jasmine over clean musk is captured, with Snow Gem keeping the jasmine cleaner and less indolic than the sometimes-divisive original, at a flatter overall depth.
