Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Balade in Autumn Eau de Parfum
A divisive scent that’s either 'pure magic' or barely there. If you're lucky, it's a softer, more elegant take on the BR540 vibe, but don't be surprised if it disappears on you.

Our Verdict - Safran Rare Eau de Parfum
This one's a divisive oud-saffron bomb that some absolutely adore for its smoky, leathery depth and beast-mode performance, while others find the saffron muted and the overall impression a bit one-note. Expect opulent warmth, but be warned, it's not for the faint of heart.
