Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rima XI Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper chameleon. Expect a creamy, warm spicy vanilla that's either a cosy gourmand dream or a 'soapy aftershave' shocker, depending on your bottle, your skin, and perhaps the alignment of the stars. It's divisive, but when it hits right, it's a beauty.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Sotoor Waaw Eau de Parfum
A divisive scent for sure: some find it a gorgeous, niche-quality spicy-woody blend, while others sniff out an obnoxious, cheap synthetic car air freshener. This isn't a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit.

Best For:
Office Date Casual
