Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Parfumée au Thé Rouge Eau de Toilette

A cult favourite snatched from us too soon, Parfumée au Thé Rouge is an elegant, warm tea scent that inspires devotion despite its quiet nature. It's a divisive brew of sharp pepper and sweet fig, but a true icon.

Our Verdict - Rare Reef Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper head-turner, though divisive. Some reckon it's a stellar, beast-mode citrus freshie, but beware: the synthetic edge and potential for an overpowering amber-musk drydown means it's not for everyone. Hype often leads to heartbreak here, so try before you buy.
