Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Christian Lacroix Absynthe
This cult classic from Avon is a divisive beast: some hail it as a unique, woody-herbal masterpiece, while others can't get past initial sharpness or find it fleeting. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but those who love it, really love it.

Our Verdict - Atifa Noir
This is a seriously polarising Arabian-style amber; some find it a gorgeous, comforting 'antidepressant' with a fun, sweet twist, while others get a relentless, 'monotonous' experience. Test before you commit.
