Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Agent Provocateur EDP
A bombshell rose-musk classic that veers animalic and daring, Agent Provocateur Eau de Parfum is not for the faint of heart. Intense, powdery, and provocatively rich, it leaves a trail of vintage femme fatale allure.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Rafia Gold EDP
This is a serious crowd-pleaser, particularly among those who favour heavy florals with an opulent, woody twist. It'll make you feel regal without having to pay a king's ransom.
