Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mortal Skin

Mortal Skin is a seriously polarising scent: some claim it's a masterpiece, a mysterious and addictive aroma that defies categorisation, whilst others find it 'icky', 'gross', or even like 'rotten meat'. Its divisive nature, coupled with frequent complaints about weak performance, means it's not a crowd-pleaser and definitely needs a test wear.

Our Verdict - Coeur de Vetiver Sacre

This much-missed gem is a deeply harmonious scent that keeps you guessing. It's a complex, evocative tea and vetiver blend, though not everyone experiences the vetiver equally. A truly distinctive and meditative experience that has people clamouring for its return.

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Formal

Its dark, enigmatic character and the mixed reviews on sillage and longevity make it less suitable for office or casual wear. It leans towards evenings and special occasions where its unique scent can be appreciated without being overpowering, ideal for dates or formal events if the projection isn't too strong.
