Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Paithani Eau de Parfum
A truly divisive scent: a spiced, milky leather beast that will either enchant you with its warmth or repel you with its sour, challenging nuances. Not a safe blind buy, but a unique experience for the daring.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Ambre Cristal Extrait
A warm embrace of spice and leather, Ambre Cristal is a sophisticated beast. Its character unfolds with a rich complexity, though some may find its woody dry-down a touch too assertive.
