Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mad Madame EDP
Divisive and unapologetically bold, Mad Madame is a 'love it or hate it' animalic rose that screams confidence. It's a sensual scent for those who dare to be different, but definitely not a safe blind buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Chypre Palatin EDP
A modern chypre that's absolutely stunning, melding classic grandeur with contemporary flair. It's a divisive scent, with some finding it a masterpiece of sweet, ambery elegance, while others are put off by its intensity or perceived datedness. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
