Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Kashaya
Kashaya is the 90s fruity-floral you never knew you needed. It's a divisive one, some find it too sweet or dated, yet a passionate bunch call it a comforting, unique masterpiece. A true Sophia Grojsman creation, not for the faint of heart.

Our Verdict - Montaigne
This isn't just a perfume; it's a statement. Montaigne is a powerful, unapologetic floral oriental that divides opinion - some find it a rich, vintage masterpiece, others an 'old lady' scent. Approach with caution and a light hand, or risk being overwhelmed by its opulent embrace.
