Which Should You Buy?
Kemi is absolute Marmite in a bottle. You'll either love its hardcore animalic oud that dries down to a sweet, woody complexity, or you'll think it smells like an incontinent farm animal. Definitely not for the fainthearted or blind buyers.
This one's divisive, but if you're after a boozy, woody leather with serious gravitas, you're in for a treat. Definitely not a blind buy - some say it's a masterpiece of nostalgic warmth, others reckon it's an old man's whisky breath. Try before you commit.
