Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sensual Instinct EDP
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.

Our Verdict - Affogato al Caffè EDP
This one's a proper gourmand, and a bit of a chameleon. Some get strong coffee, others pure vanilla and caramel bomb. Performance can be a faff to start, but give it time to macerate and it'll reward you with a cosy, creamy embrace.
