Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Afrika Olifant
This is a fiercely divisive animalic beast, celebrated by some as a profound masterpiece and reviled by others as an affront to good taste. It's a challenging wear, but rewards those brave enough to embrace its primal power.

Our Verdict - Suede et Safran
This is a leather fragrance you'll either love or think smells like pickle juice and weed. A divisive scent profile that goes heavy on the saffron, often compared to Tom Ford's Tuscan Leather but with a Nishane twist. It's not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get it' swear by its luxurious, beast-mode performance.
