Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Earl Grey & Cucumber EDC
A truly gorgeous, realistic Earl Grey tea that's universally loved for its calming freshness but almost universally hated for its abysmal longevity. It's an instant classic with a fatal flaw.
Favourite

A unique blend of fresh matcha and clean musk makes this a refreshing addition to any collection, ideal for those seeking a balanced and contemporary fragrance.
