Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Red Shield EDP
Divisive and sweet, Red Shield is a chameleon. Some get a refined, powdery leather, others a sticky, gourmand blast. Expect compliments or confusion; it's a bold scent that clearly splits the room.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Burning Leather EDP
A divisive, yet utterly addictive take on leather, where rich sweetness meets a sophisticated edge. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but fans will be falling head-over-heels for this unique gourmand experience.
