Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanilla Nomad
This isn't your average vanilla; it's a surprisingly divisive beast. Some find it a comforting, sophisticated incense-vanilla dream, while others are baffled by its lack of sweetness and the heavy church-like frankincense. Definitely not a blind buy.

Our Verdict - La Fumee Ottoman
This one's a proper mood-setter. A warm, spicy hug with a mysterious edge that you'll either adore or find a bit too full-on. Not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get' it absolutely swear by it.
