Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rose Rouge
This one's a proper jammy rose, absolutely stunning to many with a delicious gourmand twist. However, for some, the patchouli and vetiver can go a bit 'off', so do yourself a favour and test it first, eh?

Our Verdict - Bucephalus XI
This one's a divisive Aventus adjacent, but with a unique twist. Fans love the myrrh and fruit, while others find it too powdery or synthetic. Don't expect a carbon copy, but it might just be your preferred take on that classic DNA.
