Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Le Bain de McBain EDP
A modern citrus aromatic that takes a familiar style and gives it a quirky, understated twist. It's sophisticated but keeps things interesting, a quiet companion rather than a room-filler.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Scandal EDP
Roja Dove's Scandal is a divisive white floral that some adore for its smooth, refined take on tuberose and jasmine, while others find it too old-fashioned, soapy, or simply unoriginal. It aims for classic elegance, but isn't for everyone.

Its subtle projection and fresh-aromatic profile make it ideal for office wear and casual settings, offering a clean, unobtrusive scent. While pleasant, it doesn't have the grand sillage for very formal events, nor the boldness for a dynamic date night, but it would be a quiet, thoughtful choice.
