Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Labdanum 18 EDP
Labdanum 18 is a divisive animalic musk that's either a cosy, sophisticated baby powder bomb or a challenging, almost offensive 'petting zoo' scent. It's not for everyone, but if it works with your skin chemistry, it's an addictive and much-loved modern classic.
Statement
Our Verdict - The Lion Extrait
The Lion by Jevelon Canada struts confidently into your fragrance wardrobe-it's bold and luxurious but not for the faint-hearted.
