Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Gold
Black Gold is a divisive one. You'll either get an incredibly luxurious, clean, and masculine lavender-leather dream, or a headache-inducing floral soap that reminds you of your nan. Definitely try before you buy, as personal chemistry truly dictates the experience.

Our Verdict - Fortnight
Fortnight is a love-it-or-hate-it clone of Dior's iconic Fahrenheit. While it nails the leather-violet vibe for some, others find it a harsh, watered-down imitation. Dive in for a budget-friendly trip down memory lane, but don't expect a perfect replica.
