Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - ASHY WOOD Extrait
If you're already flush with boozy-sweet scents, this one might feel a bit too familiar. However, for those new to the genre or seeking a solid alternative, Ashy Wood delivers a surprisingly complex sweet-oud with an interesting mineral edge.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Sensual Instinct Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper Marmite scent - you'll either adore its sweet, mossy depth or recoil from its boozy, medicinal bite. Don't be swayed by the BR540 comparisons; this beast stands on its own, for better or worse.
