Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Born in Roma Extradose Donna EDP
A sweet, boozy vanilla dream: Extradose is a crowd-pleasing, date-night beast. While some find it a bit too 'designer' or generic, its strong performance and delicious warm notes make it a solid choice for those who love a feminine, head-turning scent. Not for the faint of heart, or those prone to headaches.

Our Verdict - Up The Apples & Pears EDP
This one is a proper divisive beast. Some folks are absolutely mad for its boozy, bread-y charm, while others find it utterly unwearable. Expect a rollercoaster, not a crowd-pleaser.
