Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vetiver

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.

Our Verdict - Iqra

Iqra is a surprisingly complex scent, a woody-amber delight with a refreshing spicy twist. It's not for the faint-hearted but carries enough universal appeal to be a crowd-pleaser for those who appreciate a bit of character.
