Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Heraud Extrait
Heraud is a divisive gourmand. Either it's a perfectly balanced, realistic chocolate and dried fruit dream, or it's a synthetic, dusty, chalky concoction that's far too sweet for its own good. An acquired taste with a loyal following, but definitely try before you buy.

Our Verdict - Castagna Eau de Toilette
This one's a bit of a curveball. Don't go in expecting a straightforward gourmand, because you'll get a smoky, woody iris with only a whisper of seasonal sweetness. It's divisive but those who get it, love its unusual Christmas-in-a-bottle vibe.
