Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aqua Allegoria Forte Rosa Palissandro
This woody rose is polarising, dividing sniffers between love-at-first-whiff and 'dill pickle' dread. It's a challenging but undeniably unique beast of a fragrance that demands attention and respect, promising exceptional performance for those who dare.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Rafia Gold
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.
