Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Paragon Eau de Parfum
This is a seriously divisive scent. Some call it an intoxicating masterpiece of creamy woods and juicy plum, while others get synthetic fruit, old lady vibes, or even stale pencil shavings. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Our Verdict - Classic 1920 Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Bois 1920 Classic 1920 is a unique spicy-fruity-aromatic blend that some absolutely adore for its refinement and versatility, while others find the apricot-led fruitiness overwhelming or just a bit too odd. Definitely try before you buy.
