Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Kalan Eau de Parfum
Kalan is a truly divisive scent-bomb; you'll either love its unique, peppery-citrus punch or recoil from its perceived harshness. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but for those who get it, it's a confident, head-turning beast.

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.
