Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Melograno Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper marmite fragrance - you'll either love its intensely soapy, classic chypre character or find it utterly archaic. Don't go in expecting sweet pomegranate; this is an aldehydic, oakmoss-heavy statement that commands attention. Distinctly old-world, polarising, but undeniably grand.
Statement
Our Verdict - Gris Montaigne Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper masterpiece, oozing understated elegance and sophistication. A truly divisive scent, loved by many for its unique blend of woody florals and hated by a few who find it too harsh or reminiscent of unexpected things. It's a real shame it's discontinued, but if you can find it, you're in for a treat.
