Which Should You Buy?
Bois Noir is a divisive, woody beast - a sophisticated autumn walk in a bottle for some, an acrid, headache-inducing pencil shaving for others. Try before you buy, but if the dark woods speak to you, it's a stellar, unique choice.
This one's a wildcard - some call it pure sex, others a headache. Expect a potent, wine-soaked rose and incense blend that might just leave some feeling a bit boozy. Definitely not for the shy or light-handed.
