Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Poets of Berlin Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper head-scratcher. While some adore its unique blueberry-vanilla-green blend, a fair few smell anything from wet dirt and old cigarettes to sickly sweet lemon candy. Definitely not a blind buy.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Yohji Eau de Parfum
A truly unique scent that defies easy categorisation. Yohji is a cult classic, beloved for its complex interplay of notes and its distinctive, almost magical, presence. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent that has people desperately hunting for vintage bottles.
