Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Messe de Minuit Eau de Parfum
Messe de Minuit is a deeply divisive, gothic cathedral of a scent that some adore for its authentic, reverent incense and others recoil from as musty and unsettling. You'll either get Christmas Mass in a bottle or a dusty, damp old church that's seen far better days.
Statement
Our Verdict - Amber Is Great Eau de Parfum
This one is a divisive amber bomb, a 'love it or hate it' fragrance that punches above its price point. It's often compared to Erba Pura but with its own ambery, woody twist. Expect a potentially harsh opening for some, but a seductive dry down for those who stick with it.
