Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Antidote EDP
This discontinued gem divides opinion yet commands cult status for its unique, multi-layered complexity. Antidote is either an intoxicating masterpiece or an unwearable scrubber, but rarely anything in between. Track it down for a sniff, if you dare.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Remedy EDP
Remedy revives the discontinued Viktor & Rolf Antidote, opening fresh-spicy with cardamom and mint before sinking into a cinnamon-and-woods heart. The original's peculiar, complex spicy-woody character reads simpler and flatter here, but it's a welcome budget revival of a hard-to-find oriental.
