Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - MALVS Eau de Parfum
This one's a divisive, dark amber. Some reckon it's a mysterious, sensual masterpiece with temple vibes, while others find it a cloying, dated mess. Definitely one to try before you commit, as it pushes strong opinions.
Statement
Our Verdict - Sacreste Eau de Parfum
Sacreste is a divisive beast: an unapologetically 'churchy' incense, for some it's a nostalgic spiritual journey, for others, it's a flat, sour, or even synthetic mess that conjures images of burnt sofas. Test before you commit, because this ain't for everyone.
