Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - J'ai Osé
J'ai Osé is a proper '70s powerhouse - a rich, complex beast that's utterly divisive. It's too dark and challenging for some, but if you love bold, vintage chypres, this is an absolute gem, even in its reformed glory.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Proserphina
This perfume is a divisive one, a gothic, modern chypre for those who appreciate a moody artistic statement. It's not a crowd-pleaser, but rather a journey into dark sophistication with surprising twists of honeyed fruit.
