Which Should You Buy?
A seriously sophisticated woody-spicy fragrance that's a dead ringer for Creed Royal Oud for many, though its subtle projection means Houbigant has nailed 'quiet luxury' with this one. Some find the performance lacklustre, but the scent itself is pretty much universally adored.
A brighter, more approachable incense offering that's surprisingly cheerful. Some find its longevity a let-down, especially considering the price, but those who love it, really love it. It's a fresh take on a classic idea, though perhaps not groundbreaking.
