Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Jour d'Hermes Absolu EDP
A truly divisive scent, Jour d'Hermes Absolu swings between sparkling elegance and sharp, sour disappointment. It's either a sun-drenched floral masterpiece or a grapefruit-heavy scrubber, depending entirely on your chemistry and nose. Approach with caution, but it might just be your next signature.

Our Verdict - Narcotic Flower EDP
This one's a crowd-pleaser for those after a fresh, clean floral, but be warned, the opening can be a bit sharp before it mellows. Many reckon it's a dead ringer for more expensive options, offering fantastic value.
