Our Verdict - The Hour of Dusk & Gold
This is a wonderfully unique spicy-powdery fragrance that manages to be both warm and inviting. It's a crowd-pleaser for those who adore a good spice, offering something distinctive without being difficult to wear.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Fantosmia
This one is a properly divisive beast, starting with an edgy, almost industrial hit that dries down to something unexpectedly comforting. It's not for everyone, but if you appreciate a bit of dark mystery, Fantosmia delivers.
