Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cuir Amethyste EDP
A truly polarising scent. Some find Cuir Amethyste's violet-leather combo divine, a "holy grail" of elegance and sensuality. Others recoil from a "chemical soup," or a "wet animal hide" with cloying sweetness. Expect love-it-or-hate-it reactions.

Our Verdict - Mon Numero 10 EDP
Mon Numero 10 is an absolute marvel, a shapeshifting beast that goes from church incense to cherry cola on a leather seat, all while maintaining an unmistakable depth. It's divisive, but fans rave about its complex, warm embrace. Not for the faint-hearted, but truly exceptional.
