Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Chimaera Extrait
Prepare for a deeply divisive scent, Chimaera by Tiziana Terenzi is a chameleon of chaos. Some find it a complex masterpiece, a 'holy grail' of spicy gourmands, while others are met with 'burnt hair' or a 'synthetic mess'. It's not a crowd-pleaser, but rather a journey for the bold.

Our Verdict - Ceaser Giovanni Lorenzi EDP
If you're after a sophisticated scent that punches well above its weight for the price, Ceaser Giovanni Lorenzi is an absolute no-brainer. It's a proper oud-leather bomb that delivers serious longevity and projection without breaking the bank.
