Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Blackbird
This one's a wild ride. Olympic Orchids Blackbird is a polarising beast, blending photorealistic, tart blackberries with deep forest resins. It's either an evocative, natural masterpiece or a medicinal cough syrup nightmare, depending on your skin and nose. Definitely not a blind buy.

Our Verdict - Golden Gallop
A sweet, woody enigma. Golden Gallop is deep, complex, and will get you noticed, not for the faint-hearted. It's a statement scent with a luxurious feel.
