Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mortal Skin Eau de Parfum
Mortal Skin is a seriously polarising scent: some claim it's a masterpiece, a mysterious and addictive aroma that defies categorisation, whilst others find it 'icky', 'gross', or even like 'rotten meat'. Its divisive nature, coupled with frequent complaints about weak performance, means it's not a crowd-pleaser and definitely needs a test wear.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Identity Unique Portrait Eau de Parfum
A truly captivating and powerful fragrance that delivers sophistication and a luxurious aura, though some find the opening fizzier and the drydown less original. This one earns its hype as a compelling dupe at a modest price.
