Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Heure Verte EDP
Prepare for a proper love-it-or-hate-it experience with this one. Kilian's L'Heure Verte is a divisive, bold fragrance that some find intoxicatingly unique while others recoil from its intense, medicinal liquorice kick. Not a safe blind buy, but endlessly fascinating.
