Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Midnight Couture Black de Minuit
This one's a head-turner, but it's not trying too hard. Midnight Couture gets heads nodding from devoted fans for its licorice-heavy, sophisticated spin on the original, though some find it a bit too similar to justify owning both. A solid pick if you like that dark, syrupy, mysterious vibe.

Our Verdict - Bengale Rouge
A divisive powerhouse, Bengale Rouge is either a captivating, vintage-inspired amber dream or a cloying, medicinal headache. It's not for the faint of heart, but those who love it, really love it. Expect beast mode performance and a scent that demands attention.
