Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Tulip
A divisive plum-patchouli combo that's either a dark, sexy stunner or a screechy, synthetic mess. It's unique amongst Nest with some proper gothic vibes, but check your skin chemistry first or risk smelling like an 85-year-old church lady.
Statement
Our Verdict - Inspired by Pomegranate Noir
Match Fragrances' interpretation of Jo Malone London's Pomegranate Noir (2005) - the Christine Nagel pomegranate-pink pepper-patchouli unisex composition that became Jo Malone's defining dark-fruity signature, here translated into a pomegranate-raspberry opening over Casablanca lily and a patchouli-guaiac close. Honest dupe-fidelity for evening unisex wear at a fraction of the designer-niche price.
