Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - December Vanilla Eau de Parfum

This isn't your average fluffy vanilla. December Vanilla is a rich, boozy, and deeply divisive scent that truly shines after some maceration. Prepare for an intense patchouli and rum opening; those who wait will be rewarded with a complex, sophisticated vanilla.

Statement

Our Verdict - Oud Malaki Eau de Parfum

This Malaki is a sleeper, starting shy and only truly blooming after a year or so. If you've got the patience, it transforms into an all-time top-five, luxurious oud experience that's absolutely worth the wait. It's truly a connoisseur's oil.
