Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Meydan Eau de Parfum

Meydan is a bold, take-no-prisoners leather. It's a proper Middle Eastern beast, demanding attention and oozing luxury. Definitely not a blind buy unless you live for powerful, unapologetic leather scents.

Our Verdict - Spicebomb Eau de Parfum

The Essence Vault's interpretation of Viktor&Rolf's Spicebomb (2012) - Olivier Polge's pepper-cinnamon-tobacco grenade-bottle masculine, here translated into a budget reading with the pepper-cinnamon-tobacco-leather spine still legible. Honest dupe-fidelity for evening and date wear in cooler weather.
