Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vetiver EDC
This is a clean, bright vetiver that's certainly high quality, but it sparks debate. Many find it similar to more affordable staples like Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver or Guerlain Vetiver, questioning its value. Others laud it as a refined, sophisticated take on the classic, perfect for a mature gentleman who appreciates subtle luxury.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Nüwa EDP
Divisive and expensive, with a strong cumin note that either captivates or repels. Nüwa is a high-class rose chypre from Roja that sparks intense debate over its merits, especially concerning its price tag and distinct 'old version' spiciness.

Spring Summer Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
