Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - First Instinct for Her EDP
A perfectly pleasant amber-floral with a tropical kick that's sadly let down by fleeting performance. It's affordable, mass-appealing, and generally well-liked by those who prefer simple, sweet scents, but don't expect it to last.
Favourite
Our Verdict - World EDP
A budget take on Guerlain Samsara, that creamy sandalwood-and-jasmine oriental classic. World captures the lush jasmine heart and the warm sandalwood-vanilla drydown, but the Mysore-sandalwood richness reads thinner and more synthetic, and it projects more modestly than the original.
