Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Artisan Ethnique Eau de Parfum

This beast-mode gourmand is an absolute showstopper for some, a divisive spice bomb for others. Either way, it's potent, sweet, and probably needs a good maceration period to truly shine. Those who love it, really love it.

Our Verdict - Hermessence Ambre Narguile Eau de Parfum

The one that started it all. Forget the knock-offs, Hermès Ambre Narguile is the OG apple pie gourmand, a masterpiece that manages to be both rich and refined. It's often copied, but never truly equalled.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual Formal
