Which Should You Buy?
This is a grown-up, sophisticated leather-vetiver that's a stunning modern classic, even if it might lean a little 'sexy grandpa' for some. Definitely one to try before you buy, but if it clicks, it's an absolute steal for the quality.
Noir Patchouli is a divisive beast: some find it a sophisticated, vintage-inspired patchouli dream, while others are baffled by its lack of actual patchouli and its overwhelming 'old lady rose soap' vibe. Definitely not a blind buy.
