Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bois Doré Eau de Parfum
A smooth, luxurious embrace of almond and vanilla that manages to be both comforting and chic. While some moan about performance, let it macerate and it'll transform into a quiet beast - intimate, but utterly addictive.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Saaqi Eau de Parfum
Saaqi is a divisive blend; a bold, sophisticated wine and tobacco scent that some find intoxicatingly unique while others are overwhelmed by a peppery kick. Definitely not one for a blind buy.
