Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Essencial Sentir Eau de Parfum

This one's a mixed bag. On the one hand, a fresh, modern woody citrus that's great for everyday wear; on the other, a performance that divides opinion wildly. It's a crowd-pleaser that won't make a dent in your wallet, but don't expect it to last 'til morning.

Our Verdict - Draconis Extrait

This one's a bit of a chameleon: a brighter, sharper take on a classic vetiver that divides opinion. Some find it a superior alternative to Terre d'Hermes, while others feel it's just 'basic' or too harsh up front. Give it time to settle; the drydown is where the magic (or indeed, the mediocrity) happens.
