Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Kilian Apple Brandy Oil
An intoxicating blend of fruity brandy and rich woods that embodies both elegance and audacious charm.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Strong Me EDP
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a rich, boozy vanilla that’s either deliciously addictive or overwhelmingly cloying. The metallic edge adds a divisive twist; some find it intriguing, others just odd.
