Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cuir Majeste EDP
A truly astonishing leather, Cuir Majeste is a luxurious, attention-grabbing beast. While its potency might not be for everyone, for those who love bold, rich scents, this is an absolute masterpiece.
Acquired
Our Verdict - The Whispering Oud Extrait
Seriously polarising, Whispering Oud is a sweet, leathery, and unapologetically bold beast. This one aims for maximum impact, not mass appeal, and if you can pull it off, you'll definitely be remembered. Not for the faint of heart, it’s a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent.
