Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bois Noir EDP
Bois Noir is a divisive, woody beast - a sophisticated autumn walk in a bottle for some, an acrid, headache-inducing pencil shaving for others. Try before you buy, but if the dark woods speak to you, it's a stellar, unique choice.
Acquired
Our Verdict - You & Eye EDP
A properly robust, woody-amber affair that commands attention without shouting. It's a modern classic in the making for those who appreciate depth.
