Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Smoke of the Soul EDP
An enigmatic blend of smoke and resins, Smoke of the Soul is perfect for those who enjoy complex and mysterious fragrances.

Our Verdict - Psychotrope Extrait
This one's a wild card, mates. Some reckon it's a 'hot body in a bottle' with a uniquely skanky depth, while others smell burnt caramel and 'dirty little fingers'. Psychotrope is definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit to this divisive beast.
