Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Reve d'Ossian Eau de Parfum
Prepare for a proper church service in a bottle. This is a divisive one - some find it absolutely divine, a true masterpiece of atmospheric incense. Others reckon it's nothing short of nauseating. You'll either love or loathe its strong, unyielding character.

Our Verdict - Groove Xcape Parfum
Groove Xcape is a divisive beast, a genuine love-it-or-hate-it scent from Xerjoff that bucks trends. It's a proper niche experience: unique, complex, and probably not for the faint-hearted or those seeking mass appeal. Forget the clubbing marketing; this is an olfactory art piece.

Date

Its potent projection and unique 'churchy' character make it less suitable for everyday office wear, though some find it acceptable in smaller doses. It's an excellent choice for a formal event or a chilly date night where its warmth and depth can truly shine, but too heavy for casual daytime use or sport.
