Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rouge Hermès EDP
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, polarizing opinions with its bold, powdery, and unapologetically classic character. It's a powerhouse for those who appreciate a rich, vintage statement, but it certainly isn't for everyone.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Alexandria III Parfum
Alexandria III is a deeply polarising oud-rose that improves on its predecessor for some, while others view it as a total misstep. Expect a loud, luxurious scent that demands attention - just be sure you actually like it first.
