Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Eau de Paille Eau de Parfum
This one's a bit of a curveball from Serge Lutens. Some reckon it's a classy, unique take on fresh hay and vetiver, perfect for summer. Others are left scratching their heads, finding it too generic or just not what they expected from the house. Definitely a try-before-you-buy job.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Bois De Feu Eau de Parfum
Bois De Feu is a comforting, smoky embrace for those crisp, long evenings. Some rave about its serene woody character, while others find its performance a bit too fleeting for the price. If you want a subtle, refined take on incense and wood, this could be your winter warmer.
