Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nisean
A divisive yet distinctive offering from Parfums de Marly. Nisean is a sophisticated, woody-amber fragrance, celebrated by some as a true niche standout, while others find its intensity and traditional oriental profile a bit much. A 'hidden gem' for the initiated, if you can still find it.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Miss
Rasasi's Miss is a bold, modern take on woody amber, demanding attention without screaming it. A surprisingly sophisticated budget gem, but don't expect a wallflower. It’s a definite crowd-pleaser for those who like their scents with a bit of bite.

Office

Its sophisticated, woody-amber profile and moderate sillage make it suitable for formal events and dates, lending an elegant air without being overpowering. The strong, characterful patchouli and resinous notes make it less appropriate for very casual or sporty settings, as some find it too intense.
