Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mocha Wood Eau de Parfum
Seriously, for the price? This is a banger. Mocha Wood is a divisive blend of bold rose, sweet coffee, and woody tobacco that punches well above its weight, delivering compliments and surprising complexity after a bit of maceration. A fantastic cold-weather find.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Hermessence Vetiver Tonka Eau de Parfum
This is a masterpiece of a gourmand vetiver, but its delicate sillage and high price tag mean it's definitely not for everyone. Expect a sophisticated, subtle experience that you'll primarily wear for yourself.
