Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cigar Eau de Parfum
This legendary value frag smells far more expensive than it is. A classic fruity tobacco, Cigar polarises with its initial blast, but dries down to a rich, comforting aroma that captures hearts, though its performance can be a bit hit or miss on different skin chemistries.

Our Verdict - Deriva Extrait
Deriva is a bit of a mishmash; it's got some intriguing parts but doesn't quite gel into a cohesive masterpiece. It's unique enough to catch attention but might not be your everyday grab. Come for the presentation, stay for the… well, some folks quite like the scent too, others aren't convinced.
