Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - La Capitale EDP
Divisive yet addictive, La Capitale is a full-throttle fruit-and-leather beast. It's a statement scent; sweet, complex, and absolutely not for everyone, but if it clicks, it's pure magic.
Acquired
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.
