Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dejan Eau de Parfum
Dejan divides opinion: some find it a masterful, authentic oud-rose, others complain about the synthetic feel and sky-high price versus performance. Expect a bold, animalic opening that settles into something more refined.
Statement
Our Verdict - Essence de Patchouli Eau de Parfum
A divisive take on patchouli, this one. Some find it a clean, refined, and exquisite woody-floral-musk. Others? A dusty, chocolatey, powdery concoction that misses the mark entirely. You'll either adore its unique spin or wonder what all the fuss is about.
