Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Phantom Eau de Parfum
Black Phantom is the Marmite of gourmands: a divisive, love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a journey from boozy, bitter darkness to sweet, seductive warmth. It's not a safe blind buy, so sample it before you commit.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Noir Exquis Eau de Parfum
Noir Exquis is a divisive, albeit adored, sophisticated take on a gourmand. Expect a rich, comforting, woody vanilla with a gentle coffee and maple warmth. Be warned: performance is a roll of the dice.
