Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hermessence Cedre Sambac EDT
This one's a proper chameleon. Some love its creamy, indolic jasmine and smooth cedar, while others bemoan a plasticky note or a glaring lack of discernible cedar. It's a divisive brew, not for blind buys, and definitely one to test on your own skin.

Our Verdict - Harvest 2008: Amarige Ylang-Ylang EDT
A radiant, multi-layered floral that defies its own billing. Many go in expecting a Ylang-Ylang bomb and come away with a surprisingly fresh, elegant white floral. It's a limited edition that truly deserved a broader release.
