Which Should You Buy?
Oud Maracujá is an absolute beast, delivering an unapologetic punch of tropical fruit and deep oud that you'll either adore to bits or find utterly offensive. It's divisive, captivating, and certainly not for the faint-hearted.
A truly divisive L'Artisan masterpiece, Traversee du Bosphore is a sweet leather scent that either charms with its unique gourmand embrace or repels with its 'play-doh' or 'synthetic' qualities. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of discontinued gem.
