Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Caliber Declaration

This one is a divisive take on a classic, leaning more into its warm, spicy side. Expect a sophisticated, somewhat flat aroma that might not thrill purists but offers a unique, dressed-up feel.

Our Verdict - Vetiver Insolent

A truly gorgeous vetiver that takes the traditional earthy, smoky notes and elevates them with a modern, sweet-spicy twist. It's a bold, confident scent that knows its worth, perfectly balanced and utterly captivating, though some find it a bit too sweet and less vetiver-forward than the name implies.
