Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Diptyque Eau Rihla EDP
Eau Rihla blends spicy and woody accords in a luxurious composition, perfect for cooler seasons and sophisticated occasions.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Birch & Black Pepper EDC
A modern take on woody spice that's a bit of a divisive one; some find it a sophisticated, subtle masterpiece, others dismiss it as fleeting and smelling of 'leaky ballpoint pens'. If you're after a subtle, contemporary scent, it's worth a shot, but don't expect it to last.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate projection and fresh, warm spicy accords make it suitable for office and casual wear without being overpowering. The subtlety might not shine in a loud formal setting, and it’s definitely not one for the gym.
