Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Patchouli Intense Eau de Parfum
Divisive, powerful, and utterly unique - this isn't for those who play it safe. Expect a polarising blend that’s either an instant signature or a hard pass. Definitely don't blind buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Noir Epices Eau de Parfum
Noir Epices is a truly polarising fragrance; a sophisticated, spicy oriental that some hail as a masterpiece and others find far too vintage, bordering on medicinal. You'll either adore its bitter orange and clove intensity or recoil from its potent blend.
