Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Diaghilev Eau de Parfum
This is a masterpiece that smells like old money - if that money’s been rolled in civet. It’s an opulent, animalic chypre that people either adore for its undeniable quality or recoil from as 'old lady' perfume. Don't go near it if you're expecting modern mass appeal, but truly exceptional if you're ready for its vintage gravitas.
Acquired
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.
