Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Calamity J Eau de Parfum

Calamity J is a polarising beast, a true love-it-or-hate-it scent. Some find it a sophisticated, soft amber-patchouli dream, others a 'calamity' of burned wood and 'wet sauvage animal hair'. It's been discontinued, which only adds to its mystique and desirability for its fans.

Statement

Our Verdict - Soft Paradise Eau de Parfum

A modern take on spicy warmth, Soft Paradise delivers cozy sophistication without the sickly sweetness. It's an addictive crowd-pleaser for those who love their cinnamon rich, warm, and comforting.
