Our Verdict - Riven Oak Eau de Parfum
Tom Daxon's Riven Oak is an absolute masterclass, a true shape-shifter that'll keep you sniffing your wrist all day. Forget the niche snobs, this is a seriously sophisticated, underrated gem that's begging to be your new signature scent - if you can handle its complex journey, that is.

Our Verdict - Exotic Heritage Pour Homme Eau de Parfum
Don't fall for the hype comparing this to Armani Code - it's a completely different beast. It's a classy, masculine, woody-sweet scent that might not be a beast mode performer for everyone but gets the job done. A refined choice for those who appreciate subtle sophistication.
