Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Elegance Animale Eau de Parfum
This one is a proper head-turner, but it's not for the faint-hearted. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it beast; some find it a sophisticated leather dream, others a 'challenging' mix of industrial fumes and sour fruit. Definitely sample before you buy.

Our Verdict - Galop d'Hermes Eau de Parfum
Galop is a divisive one: a luxurious, well-crafted rose-leather scent for some, a synthetic, screechy scrubber for others. Its hefty price tag and sometimes fleeting performance adds to the controversy, but devotees find it an inimitable high-end statement. You'll either adore its equestrian fantasy or be left looking for the artistry.
