Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Narcos'is Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, causing a stir with its divisive opening that smells suspiciously like weed. If you're game for something rebellious and complex that evolves beautifully, Vertus Narcos'is is an addictive masterpiece, but be warned: it's not for the faint-hearted.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Hugo Red Eau de Parfum
Hugo Red is a divisive, quirky blend of fruity sweetness and metallic edge. You'll either love its unique, energetic profile or find its synthetic side a bit nauseating. Definitely a 'try before you buy' kind of scent, but compelling for those who dare to be different.
