Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - London Rain Black Cedarwood & Juniper EDC
A truly divisive scent: some find it a unique, cozy embrace, while others are put off by a jarring sweetness or a lack of impactful woody character. It's not a safe blind buy, but for those it clicks with, it's a signature-worthy experience.

Our Verdict - Monochrome EDP
Monochrome is a refined, albeit divisive creation. Some find it a sophisticated and exclusive choice for special events, whereas others are left feeling short-changed by its fleeting performance and perceived lack of originality at this price point. A quiet charmer for some, an overpriced imposter for others.
