Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Musamam Black Intense Eau de Parfum
This one's a wildcard - genuinely unique but also polarising. Some will love its dark, gourmand depth, while others will find the opening challenging. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but worth trying for its impressive performance and distinctive character.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Living Lalique Eau de Parfum
This one is a real chameleon, loved for its sophisticated blend of notes but often divisive due to its 'masculine' leaning. It's a shame it's discontinued, as it's a unique take on a cosy, woody scent.
