Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Unforgivable Black EDP
Unforgivable Black is a boozy, citrus-heavy fragrance that swings between a freshie and a heavy night scent. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans praising its potency and boozy uniqueness, while others find it too intense or uninspired. Definitely one to try before you buy.

Our Verdict - Jicky EDT
Jicky is a bona fide classic, but be warned: this ain't your average crowd-pleaser. It's a polarizing, historic scent - some find it heavenly, others pick up naught but an animalic tang. Love or loathe it, you're smelling a piece of perfumery legend.
