Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nordic Cedar

This one's a divisive Nordic enigma. Some find it a smooth, subtle cedar and cardamom delight, while others are baffled by its 'clean and sterile' nature, likening it to wet wipes or furniture polish. Definitely test before you commit.

Our Verdict - Patchouli d'Atlas

A modern, bold take on patchouli with a distinctly Middle Eastern vibe. Divisive in its execution, but a masterpiece for cardamom and saffron fans who crave powerful projection and longevity.
