Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Faces of Francis

This one's a proper love-it-or-loathe-it affair, pulling no punches. A complex, divisive scent that swings from creamy pistachio delights to industrial burnt rubber, not for the faint of heart or the blind-buyer.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Meydan

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.
