Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Samsara Eau de Parfum

A legendary scent that's loved, longed for, and occasionally loathed. Vintage bottles are considered masterpieces, while newer formulations are seen as a shadow of their former glory. It's truly a perfume that transcends mere fragrance, provoking strong emotional connections.

Our Verdict - Lince Extrait

Lince is a polarising powder-bomb that divides opinion between those who adore its grown-up vanilla floral and those who can't stand its medicinal anise and powder. If you're a fan of Hypnotic Poison, you'll likely love this. If not, best sample it first.
