Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Florabotanica EDP
This cult classic is a divisive beast: a potent, green rose that evokes a fresh botanical garden with an edgy, almost illicit undertone. Its discontinuation has left a void, elevating it to mythical status despite its challenging notes for some.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Safwa EDP
This is a thick, syrupy, deeply oriental scent that some find absolutely heavenly and others describe as 'intimate' despite its potency. Expect a sensual, long-lasting experience, but probably not for everyone.
