Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Knowing Eau de Parfum
Seriously divisive yet utterly compelling, Knowing is a powerhouse chypre that demands attention. You'll either adore its unapologetic complexity or recoil from its 'old-school' punch; there's no middle ground here.

Our Verdict - Crushing Bloom Eau de Parfum
Tom Daxon's Crushing Bloom is a classy, green floral for the modern connoisseur. It's a fresh, uplifting bouquet with an elegant backbone, though some might find the lily a touch too intense. A definite crowd-pleaser for those who appreciate refined florals.
