Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hindu Kush
Hindu Kush is a divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it scent that dares to be different. Expect a strong opening that mellows into something uniquely alluring, but be warned: this isn't a safe blind buy. Sample first, or risk smelling like a fish stall or a head shop, depending on your skin chemistry and olfactory luck.

Our Verdict - Montecristo
Montecristo is a divisive beast: an animalic, musky punch that challenges polite sensibilities. You'll either adore its raw, almost primal allure or consider it a complete olfactory assault. Not for the faint-hearted, it’s a masterpiece for those who dare.
