Which Should You Buy?
If you're after a refined, fresher take on the 'Spicebomb DNA', Hemingway delivers. It's a crowd-pleasing, smooth operator that smells of quality, though some might find it a touch too familiar or wish for stronger performance.
Noir Epices is a truly polarising fragrance; a sophisticated, spicy oriental that some hail as a masterpiece and others find far too vintage, bordering on medicinal. You'll either adore its bitter orange and clove intensity or recoil from its potent blend.
