Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Blu Mediterraneo Mirto di Panarea EDT
A transporting, sunlit citrus aromatic that conjures the carefree spirit of the Mediterranean coast. Perfect for those seeking a breezy, optimistic escape in a bottle.
Favourite
Our Verdict - L'Instant de Guerlain Extreme EDT
This is a beloved, borderline legendary scent that people hoard bottles of. It's a rich, sophisticated gourmand that demands attention and respect, though it won't please everyone with its unique combination of anise and dark chocolate.
