Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Chypre Charnel EDP
Chypre Charnel splits opinion: some hail it as a masterclass in modern chypre, sophisticated and sensual, while others find its fruitiness too prominent, missing the genre's classic bite and smelling 'pestilential'. It's certainly a grown-up take on fruity chypres, but not for everyone.

Our Verdict - XXY Parfum
This one's a divisive drop: some hail it as a luxurious, high-quality iris masterpiece, while others dismiss it as overpriced and underperforming. Expect a sophisticated, somewhat distant comfort, but don't expect it to project across the room.
