Which Should You Buy?
Castley is PDM's fresh, peppery office all-rounder. Love it or hate it, many find it a compelling, modern everyday scent. Despite the online drama, it’s a solid performer that elevates your day, though for some, it’s just another expensive, safe freshie.
A brighter, more approachable incense offering that's surprisingly cheerful. Some find its longevity a let-down, especially considering the price, but those who love it, really love it. It's a fresh take on a classic idea, though perhaps not groundbreaking.
