Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lui Rochas
This discontinued gem is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but fans rave about its unique blend of citrus and warm woods. Expect a truly opulent men's scent that sadly, you'll have to hunt down.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Nefertum
A solid, familiar woody-vanilla that's often compared to Layton for its later drydown. It's a nicely blended crowd-pleaser, but perhaps a bit generic for seasoned niche enthusiasts.
