Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Magnetic Blend 7
Initio's Magnetic Blend 7 is a polarising affair. Some hail it as a genius skin enhancer - a soft, clean musk that's perfect for layering. Others find it barely detectable, overhyped, or even unpleasant, smelling like anything from 'dog ear' to 'celery seed'. Definitely sample before you commit.

Our Verdict - Suede et Safran
This is a leather fragrance you'll either love or think smells like pickle juice and weed. A divisive scent profile that goes heavy on the saffron, often compared to Tom Ford's Tuscan Leather but with a Nishane twist. It's not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get it' swear by its luxurious, beast-mode performance.
