Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nutmeg & Ginger EDP
This one's a proper marmite scent - you'll either love its fresh, spicy kick or find it too sharp and reminiscent of cleaning products. A true 90s classic for ginger and nutmeg fans, but don't expect it to last ages.
Statement
Our Verdict - Bois de Santal EDT
A versatile sandalwood scent with warm spicy undertones, perfect for both day and evening settings.
