Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Alaïa Eau de Parfum
This is a truly divisive scent- a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect strong, almost contradictory notes of cool freshness, bold leather, and powdery florals. Not a safe blind buy, but a real gem for those it clicks with.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Pivoine Souveraine Eau de Parfum
This fresh floral number is surprisingly polarising. Some find it generic and uninspired, while others are absolutely smitten by its luminous, airy elegance. It truly shines in warmer weather, making it the perfect understated scent for celebratory occasions.
