Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Wild Vetiver Eau de Parfum
Don't let the name fool you - this is a rose fragrance, full stop. A clean, green, and fresh rose, but rose nonetheless. It’s a pleasant and persistent scent, ideal for spring and summer, though its high price point and misleading branding have sparked a fair bit of debate.

Our Verdict - Acqua Colonia Intense Wakening Woods Of Scandinavia Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper grower, a surprisingly good value gem from 4711 that's divisive but loved by many. Expect a fresh, woody, spicy rose that lasts longer than you'd think, even if it's not quite Scandinavian.
