Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sotoor Raa'
Divisive. Some find this a sparkling, musky white floral perfect for summer, while others are met with a harsh, synthetic blast of lemon cleaner - or worse. Approach with caution and try before you buy.

Our Verdict - Bucephalus XV
This one's a bit of a mystery, isn't it? The notes suggest a tantalising unisex floral, but it's proving impossible to track down. A truly covetable phantom of a fragrance.

Best For:
Casual

Its fresh and musky character leans heavily towards casual wear, with some finding it a great summer option. However, the strong initial projection and potential for synthetic notes might make it too much for a formal setting or a quieter office environment.
