Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Intense Oud Eau de Parfum
Intense Oud is a sumptuous, resinous statement piece built on powerhouse oud and smoky leather, radiating authority and depth. Not for the faint of heart, but unforgettable for those who crave opulence.
Statement
Our Verdict - Galop d'Hermes Eau de Parfum
Galop is a divisive one: a luxurious, well-crafted rose-leather scent for some, a synthetic, screechy scrubber for others. Its hefty price tag and sometimes fleeting performance adds to the controversy, but devotees find it an inimitable high-end statement. You'll either adore its equestrian fantasy or be left looking for the artistry.
