Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sultry Woods Eau de Parfum
Divisive and unapologetically bold, Sultry Woods is a love-it-or-hate-it scent. If you're after something truly individual with niche quality at a fraction of the usual price tag, this challenging rose and leather beast is one to experience.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Factory Edition: Rich Santal Eau de Parfum
This is *the* Santal 33 clone everyone talks about, and for good reason. It nails the niche, expensive smell at a fraction of the price, though some hardcore fans might spot the subtle differences. It's a divisive scent, so skip the blind buy.
