Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Galop d'Hermes Eau de Parfum

Galop is a divisive one: a luxurious, well-crafted rose-leather scent for some, a synthetic, screechy scrubber for others. Its hefty price tag and sometimes fleeting performance adds to the controversy, but devotees find it an inimitable high-end statement. You'll either adore its equestrian fantasy or be left looking for the artistry.

Our Verdict - Slow Explosions Eau de Parfum

Slow Explosions is truly a force of nature - a bold, divisive scent that you'll either adore or actively scrub off. Don't expect a crowd-pleaser; this is for those who dare to be different, embracing its unique, loud character. Not a safe blind-buy, but utterly irresistible if it clicks.

This fragrance is strong and long-lasting with significant projection, making it too overwhelming for an office environment. Its unique, bold leather and warm spicy accords, coupled with its 'love-it-or-hate-it' nature, make it best suited for cooler weather date nights or specific, confident formal events where making a statement is desired.
