Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oriental Lounge
This 'modern oriental' is divisive; some love its smooth, unique spice and comforting amber whilst others find it 'thin' or too powdery. If you appreciate a more subtle take on the genre, this could be your surprisingly elegant secret weapon.

Our Verdict - Portfolio Portrait Sandal
This one's a divisive modern woody-spicy. Some reckon it's a solid, longer-lasting twist on classic Egoiste or Ombré Nomade; others find it uninspired and dusty. Don't go in expecting a revolution, but it might just hit the spot if you're after something familiar with a bit more punch.
