Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Royale Exclusif Extrait

This one's a wildcard. While it opens fresh and promising, a strong medicinal, chemical drydown means it's not going to be for everyone. You'll either love how it develops or find yourself reaching for something else entirely.

Our Verdict - Hyakutake Extrait

A divisive sandalwood, Hyakutake is either an exquisitely blended, unique woody-herbal fragrance an elevated Santal 33-esque experience, or it's just 'meh'. You'll either love its mature, earthy character or be utterly underwhelmed.
