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.

Our Verdict - Charisma Pour Femme Eau de Parfum
This one's a divisive beast, love it or hate it. Many find the cherry synthetic and the rose too mature, leading to 'old-lady perfume' vibes. But for those it clicks with, it's a confident, dramatic statement, a testament to what a blind buy can deliver.
