Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Grain de Soleil Eau de Parfum
Grain de Soleil is a polarising beast. While some adore its warm, rich, and comforting vintage charm, others find its powdery nature cloying or dated. If you're into 'old school' amber and vanilla with serious longevity, this could be your surprisingly affordable treasure.

Our Verdict - Night Scented Stock Eau de Toilette
This one's a wildcard. Penhaligon's Night Scented Stock is a divisive beast, some lamenting its deviation from the flower it's named after, others revelling in its bold, old-school charm. Expect big spices and powdery florals, just don't expect it to smell like actual stock.
