Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Le Pamplemousse
This isn't your average juicy grapefruit scent. Le Pamplemousse is a divisive, herbal, and unapologetically bitter citrus, loved by those who appreciate its unique complexity and green earthiness.
Favourite
Our Verdict - La Voile Rouge
This one's a proper old-school green woody scent that's divisive as hell, but if you're into that classic, no-nonsense barbershop vibe from the 80s, you'll love its punchy character and ridiculous value. Definitely not for everyone, mind.
