Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Le perce-vent Eau de Parfum

A modern, musk-heavy clean scent from Serge Lutens that splits opinion. Some find it a fresh, invigorating breath of frosty air, a 'your skin but better' vibe, while others are left underwhelmed by its simplicity and perceived lack of Lutens' signature daring.

Our Verdict - Magnetic Blend 7 Eau de Parfum

Initio's Magnetic Blend 7 is a polarising affair. Some hail it as a genius skin enhancer - a soft, clean musk that's perfect for layering. Others find it barely detectable, overhyped, or even unpleasant, smelling like anything from 'dog ear' to 'celery seed'. Definitely sample before you commit.
