Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Iris Malikhân
This one's a wild ride. Expect a polarising opening that settles into a luxurious, buttery iris and vanilla dream. If you can get past the initial green bitterness, you'll be rewarded with something truly special, but it's definitely not for everyone.

Our Verdict - Muse
This one's a proper grower, mind. Initial spray can be a bit 'what's that?', with that bold ink note making an entrance. But give it time, and it blossoms into something seriously sophisticated and addictive. Not a safe blind buy, but for those who get it, it's signature scent material. Some say it's too thick, others find it light as air - divisive, but with a loyal following.
