Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Istanbul Eau de Parfum

A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb (2012) - bergamot, cinnamon and tobacco translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Our Verdict - New Leather Extrait

If a sophisticated suede handbag could wear perfume, it would be this. A soft, elegant leather that's less beast, more beauty, perfect for those who want their leather subtle but still undeniably present.
