Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dark Purple
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, polarizing opinions like a marmite sandwich. Those who love it revel in its beast-mode plum and rose, while detractors recoil from its synthetic, metallic edge. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit.

Our Verdict - J'adoube
A divisive scent, J'adoube splits opinions. Some find it a sophisticated, fruity leather statement, while others dismiss it as a synthetic 'fruitchouli' clone at a scandalous price. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
