Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pierre de Velay No. 56
This is a truly magnificent Chypre that's criminally underrated if the chatter is to be believed. A perfectly blended classic-feeling scent that's all class and sophistication, pulling off the 'timeless' vibe without feeling dated.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Roja Dove Parfum Royale #1
If your pockets are deep enough for this truly luxurious scent, you'll be treated to a bold, musky, and utterly regal experience. Not for the shy, but pure class for those who dare.
