Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Omnia Amethyste EDT
This one's a delicate purple floral that conjures up spring gardens and fresh laundry. It's often criticised for its weak performance but universally praised for its gentle, inoffensive character. Don't expect it to shout, but it certainly whispers beautifully.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Paradox EDP
Divisive and intriguing, Paradox swings between an initial sharp citrus and a sweet, powdery violet-iris drydown. Some find it a charming nostalgic trip, while others might not get past its strident opening. Definitely one to sample first.

Date

Its soft sillage and gentle, inoffensive nature make it perfect for office wear and casual settings, as many reviewers noted.

Its clean, fresh quality also makes it suitable for light activity post-gym, though not during intense sport.
