Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Noir EDP
Divisive yet captivating, Black Noir is Mancera's attempt at a softer leather-vanilla for the masses. Some will adore its smooth, sweet embrace; others will find it messy and lacking the darker notes promised by its name.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Hypnotic Oud Quinze XV EDP
This is a beast of a fragrance, powerful and polarising. Expect eternal performance and a love-it-or-hate-it reaction; some find its animalic depth sexy and sophisticated, others, well, less complimentary. Don't blind buy.
