Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dreams and Nightmares EDT
A truly divisive scent, some find its damp earthiness captivating and unique, while others find it simply smells like a wet forest floor or potting soil. It's certainly a conversation starter, for better or worse.
Statement
Our Verdict - Mousse de Chene 30 Amsterdam EDT
Divisive and enigmatic, this Le Labo exclusive is either a masterclass in modern chypre or a perplexing blend of old-school barber shop and synthetic tang. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with few sitting on the fence.
