Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Himalaya
This one's a proper clean scent, but don't expect fireworks. It's a professional and understated choice for those who value subtlety, though its performance can be a bit of a let-down for the price.

Our Verdict - Sandalwood
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a classy, subtle masterpiece, others struggle with its lacklustre performance and a price tag that doesn't quite match the experience. Not groundbreaking, but a solid, agreeable scent for those who enjoy fresh woody notes without too much fuss.

Occasions

Best For:
