Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lily of the Valley EDP
Fresh, clean, and beautifully floral, this Lily of the Valley is a delightful spring and summer staple. Despite its divisive price to performance, its delicate, realistic white floral heart is undeniably charming for those who adore the note.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Versace Essence Exciting EDP
This 'Exciting Essence' is anything but; it's a perplexing floral green that leaves some cold and others nostalgic for its unique blend. Don't expect fireworks, but a surprisingly divisive fresh scent that's either 'nice' or 'nothing exciting'.
