Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ispahan Eau de Parfum
A divisive yet treasured classic, Ispahan evokes a bold, mysterious allure. Many find it "sexy" and "sensual", though some deem it too heavy or "old" for modern tastes. If you seek a statement scent, this enchanting oriental is worth seeking out.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Notturno Fiorentino Eau de Parfum
A divisive blend that promises a captivating peppery spice leading to a soft vanilla and musk, yet some find it disappointingly faint or simply uninspired. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans praising its depth and warmth, while detractors question its performance and originality.
