Which Should You Buy?
Chypre Charnel splits opinion: some hail it as a masterclass in modern chypre, sophisticated and sensual, while others find its fruitiness too prominent, missing the genre's classic bite and smelling 'pestilential'. It's certainly a grown-up take on fruity chypres, but not for everyone.
A truly unique scent, Orlov's The Best Of Me is a shape-shifting beauty - a love-it-or-hate-it affair that’s far from a crowd-pleaser. If you're after something genuinely different and don't mind a bit of a gamble, this might just be your next wild card.
